TCU 360: Skoug’s late homer gets TCU within a win of Omaha

Written by Branson Nelson

Evan Skoug put TCU one win away from a fourth straight trip to the College World Series with a two run home run in the eighth inning Saturday that gave the Horned Frogs a 3-2 lead and a game one win over Missouri State.

“Well, what an amazing college baseball game,” said TCU head coach Jim Schlossnagle. “That one will go down as one of the best ones ever played in this ballpark as far as I’m concerned.”

Down 2-1 with one runner on base and one out in the eighth, Missouri State brought in a left-hander from the bullpen to replace starter Dylan Coleman on the mound.

Skoug welcomed the new pitcher, Jordan Knutson, to the game by launching a 2-1 pitch over the right field fence to give TCU a one-run lead. The homer was Skoug’s 19th of the season, moving him to fifth all-time in both RBI’s and home runs in a career at TCU.
