Summer Baseball Is In Full Swing

Twelve members of the TCU baseball team are participating with various teams around the country this summer. With the Cape Cod League kicking off its season on Wednesday night, all 12 Horned Frogs are officially in action this summer.

Brandon Finnegan was the opening day starter for Cape Cod's Falmouth Commodores. The lefty was the winning pitcher after allowing a run on three hits in five innings of work. He walked one and struck out eight. Preston Morrison worked a scoreless ninth with a strikeout. Kevin Cron was the starting first baseman. He scored a pair of runs and drew a walk in four plate appearances. Trey Teakell is a member of the Commodores, but has yet to see action on the mound.

On Thursday, June 20, Finnegan and Morrison will leave the Commodores to report to North Carolina for the USA Baseball Training Camp. Joining them will be Riley Ferrell, who is currently playing for the Santa Barbara Foresters of the California Collegiate League. Finnegan's spot on the squad is secured, while Morrison and Ferrell will be competing to earn a spot on the final roster.
