The Rundown
Brandon Williamson (2-1) tossed five shutout frames for the Frogs. He allowed just six hits and struck out five before giving way to the bullpen.

Humphreys hit a sacrifice fly followed by a Josh Watson double to make it 7-0. Bases loaded walks to Austin Henry and Rizer capped the scoring.
Conner Shepherd opened the fifth with a double and scored on a Humphreys base hit for a 10-0 lead.
In the sixth, the final two runs scored. Henry and Rizer executed a double steal and the throw to third base was errant, allowing Henry to score. Adam Oviedo's RBI-single drove in TCU's final run of the game.
