AN HISTORICAL WEEKEND
The Horned Frogs made history over the weekend as they notched their first-ever Big 12 series sweep. History was made at the expense of the West Virginia Mountaineers. TCU is 6-5 in Big 12 series since joining the league last season.

It was the first sweep for the Horned Frogs since the 2012 season when the Horned Frogs swept Air Force May 11-13.

Even more impressive is his .704 on-base percentage during the streak. He reached base in 19-of-28 plate appearances.
THE FLIP TO APRIL
TCU is off to a 4-0 start in the month of April. The Horned Frogs are no strangers to heating up at the right time as they boast a 136-45 record in the month of April under the guidance of head coach Jim Schlossnagle.

On the mound, the staff has lowered its ERA from 2.98 to 2.82. They have been touched for just 10 runs in 36 innings. Opponents are hitting just .183 this month.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
The Horned Frogs will play eight of their next nine games away from Lupton Stadium. TCU is 3-4 in true road games this season.
