Regular Season Finale
The Horned Frogs saw their regular season draw to a close with a 33‑20 overall record after dropping a three‑game series to West Virginia. The final stretch was marked by a mix of promise and frustration, as TCU fought to hold onto a postseason berth in a tightly contested Big 12 race.
Finishing seventh in the conference standings, the team now turns its attention to the conference tournament, where they will meet either Utah or Kansas State in the second round. The seeding reflects a season of growth, but also underscores the narrow margins that defined their campaign.
Key Arms Step Up
Early in the series, Tommy LaPour delivered a quality start, fanning five batters while surrendering just two runs. Lance Davis followed with a complete‑game shutout, striking out six and preserving a 1‑0 lead deep into the night.
The third contest featured a late rally that fell just short; TCU held a one‑run advantage entering the eighth inning before a 6‑4 defeat. Contributions from Preston Gamster, Kyuss Gargett and Noah Franco, each launching solo homers, highlighted the offensive spark, while Zack James exited after three innings and Tanner Sagouspe absorbed the loss in relief.
Looking ahead, the Horned Frogs will need to regroup quickly, leveraging the performances of their emerging arms and the clutch hitting that kept them competitive. A matchup with Utah or Kansas State promises another test of resilience as the Big 12 tournament unfolds.
