West Virginia’s baseball team improved to 37‑13 overall and 21‑9 in the Big 12 after a 6‑4 victory over Texas Christian University that wrapped up the regular season.
The matchup began with TCU taking an early advantage, as a two‑run single by Noah Franco in the third inning put the Horned Frogs ahead, and Gavin Kelly’s RBI triple in the same frame cut the deficit.
A Late Surge at the Ballpark
The Mountaineers answered in the fourth when Tyrus Hall launched a leadoff homer, tying the game, and later added his fifth home run of the season to push the lead.
In the eighth inning, two wild pitches allowed West Virginia to take the lead, capping a rally that featured Brodie Kresser reaching base four times with a hit and three walks.
Reese Bassinger entered in the ninth and closed out the game with a flyout and a groundout, finishing his relief appearance with three‑point‑two scoreless innings. Matt Ineich, Gavin Kelly and Paul Schoenfeld combined for seven hits, underscoring the depth of the lineup.
The win secured the No. 2 seed for the Big 12 Tournament, setting up a first‑round game on May 21 at Surprise Stadium in Arizona.
