GoFrogs: TCU Rallies To Stun UT Arlington, 3-2
FORT WORTH – Down to their final strike with nobody on, TCU put together an impressive rally with two runs in the ninth to steal a 3-2 victory over UT Arlington Tuesday night. The winning run scored on a bases-loaded balk.
The Rundown
The bases were empty with two outs in the ninth and TCU trailing 2-1. Zach Humphreys battled through an eight pitch at-bat, coming up with a base hit on a 3-2 pitch to start the rally. Hunter Wolfe followed with another eight pitch at-bat that ended with a base knock to put runners on the corners. Josh Watson jumped on the first pitch for a game-tying double.
With the bases loaded, before delivering a pitch to Austin Henry, the Mavericks closer committed a balk allowing Wolfe to score the game-winning run.
The game was scoreless for the first four innings before the Mavericks finally broke through with a run on three hits in the fifth.
TCU tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. Adam Oviedo doubled with one out and scored easily on a Wolfe single for a 1-1 ballgame.
But the Mavericks rebounded in the next half inning, taking a 2-1 lead as Zac Cook scored on a two-out wild pitch.
Cal Coughlin (1-0) picked up the win as he struck out the only batter he faced in the top of the ninth with two on and two out. Dawson Barr started for the Horned Frogs and tossed a career-high four shutout innings in the no-decision. He allowed five hits, walked three and struck out three.
