On Wednesday, TCU baseball didn’t do itself any favors regarding its postseason chances. The Horned Frogs fell 9-4 to Kansas State in the second round of the Big 12 tournament, closing out both regular season and tournament play with a 33-21 record. Currently hovering on the bubble for a postseason bid, TCU will learn Monday whether it has earned an NCAA tournament spot. Missing out would mark the second time in three seasons.
Tommy LaPour was charged with the loss after starting Wednesday’s game, surrendering three runs on four hits while walking one and striking out two across two innings. Mason Brassfield came on in relief, but the lefty gave up four runs in just over an inning. Trever Baumler also struggled, allowing five hits and two runs in nearly three relief innings. Former TCU pitcher Cohen Feser notched the save for Kansas State.
Offensively, the Horned Frogs managed only five hits. Jack Bell went 2-for-5 with a double, while Noah Franco and Rob Liddington each recorded a hit and an RBI. Lucas Franco and Cole Cramer also drove in runs. TCU drew six walks, struck out 10 times, and left ten runners on base.
