Wow! TCU outlasts
Sam Houston State
in 22 innings

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.

High school teammate of my son's is the TCU closer. He is having an awesome year. Son also has two high school teammates on the SHSU squad; from last night's game.

SHSU Bearkats baseball
stave off elimination
with 9-2 win over Siena

Sam Houston State: FORT WORTH (June 1, 2014) - Sam Houston State staved off elimination with a 9-2 win over Siena to reach a second NCAA Regional final in the last three seasons. The Bearkats (43-18) will get a rematch with TCU (44-15) Sunday at 7 p.m. If the Kats beat the Horned Frogs Sunday the two teams will meet again Monday night at 7 p.m.

“Our team all year has talked about the depth that we have and Coach (Pierce) preaches that it takes everybody and today was one of those days,” assistant coach Sean Allen said. “We started some guys that haven’t played every day and came up with some big hits. The pitching staff was great today. Sam Odom was great and Seth Holbert was lights out and gives us a chance tonight.”

The Bearkats took out some of their frustrations from the previous night with a five-run second inning.

First baseman Ryan O’Hearn lined a single to center field to open the second and came around to score on a double by third baseman Carter Burgess and a throwing error in right field. Left fielder Dylan Ebbs singled up the middle to drive in Burgess from third.

Catcher Hunter Courson reached on a fielder’s choice bunt for the first out. Shortstop Corey Toups then hammered a double to left field to put runners on second and third.
