TCU blows big lead, gives up late run as Oklahoma State completes sweep | Fort Worth Star Telegram

It’s a difficult reality that this TCU baseball team isn’t at the level of the past for seasons, but there’s undeniable talent on the team. It just hasn’t all come together yet.

TCU (14-10, 3-3) was swept in the three-game Big 12 series, losing 7-6 in 11 innings Friday night, 12-7 in Saturday’s first game and 9-8 in the series finale, a game TCU led 6-0 at one point.

So if you’re looking for a darkhorse, there’s Kansas State, based on Bill Snyder always having the capacity to surprise. If you want to go out on a limb, Texas Tech has 10 defensive starters returning and it’s entire offensive line back. If Kliff Kingsbury can find a quarterback, good things could happen. And there’s the continuing conundrum of Texas. A whole lot of talent exited to proclaim that Texas is back. But some people undoubtedly will.
