Eighth Inning Turns Fortunes Around: TCU 11 Florida State 7

With their biggest comeback of an already record-setting season coming Wednesday night, there is no question the Horned Frogs are “in it to win it.”

Down 7-3 in the eighth and facing elimination at the hands of Florida State, the Horned Frogs stunned the Seminoles by scoring eight runs in an unforgettable eighth inning that will be etched in the storied history of Rosenblatt Stadium.

The eighth inning culminated with a two-out full-count grand slam off the bat of senior first baseman Matt Curry to give the Frogs a 9-7 lead. Two runs scored before the mammoth homer to center, and two runs scored after it on a second Frog homer by Jantzen Witte off FSU closer and outfielder Mike McGee took his first blown save of the season.

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle wanted to bring his team to Rosenblatt Stadium before it closed. Well, he and his team have reached Omaha, the pinnacle of college baseball and they a living a dream – a dream the coach the players thought the program could achieve.

The Frogs next play at 3:30 p.m. Friday once again against UCLA.
