TCU responded with four runs in the third to take a lead it would never relinquish. With the bases loaded, an errant throw home allowed Karson Bowen to tie the game at one. Logan Maxwell followed with an RBI single to put the Frogs on top. A two-run double from Kurtis Byrne gave the Frogs breathing room.
