TCU and Sam Houston State played one for the ages Saturday night. When it was over — at 2:25 a.m. Sunday morning — after 22 innings and nearly seven hours, the Horned Frogs had escaped with a 3-2 win.
TCU (44-15) advanced to the Fort Worth Regional championship game to play the winner between SHSU and Siena at 7 p.m. Sunday at Lupton Stadium. That elimination game starts at 2:30 p.m., about 12 hours exactly after the Bearkats lost to the Frogs.
TCU is one win from advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals after Boomer White’s two-out single to left scored Keaton Jones from second base to give the Frogs a 3-2 lead in the top of the 22nd inning.
Frogs’ closer Riley Ferrell came in for the bottom of the inning to close it out, but not before Sam Houston State added a little more drama with the tying run at second base.
Ferrell walked the lead-off hitter Colt Atwood, who moved to second on a bunt. Ferrell struck out Anthony Azar before getting Ryan O’Hearn to pop out to shortstop Keaton Jones for the final out.
