“We needed all the pieces to connect. And once they did, we knew we would start rolling like we are,” junior center fielder Elijah Nunez said. “We never lost confidence. We knew what team we were ... And now we’re here.”

All of these teams are playing great, but Oral Roberts and TCU have been a tear. The Golden Eagles have won 23 of 24 and the Horned Frogs have one loss since early May. As the third fourth seed to advance to the CWS Oral Roberts believe they belong, as they should after going through the Oklahoma State regional and beating Oregon on their home field.
College World Series' slugging squads know the long ball only goes so far in Omaha | AP News
Experience has taught TCU coach Kirk Saarloos it takes more than the ability to hit the long ball for a team to leave Omaha with a championship.
Saarloos pitched in two College World Series at hitter-friendly Rosenblatt Stadium, and he was a TCU assistant when the Horned Frogs played at Schwab during the college game’s dead ball period of the early 2010s.
“You’re going to face the best of the best on the mound,” he said. “So you can’t sit there and think that you’re going to get your three-run home runs. You’re going to have to run the bases and be aggressive and steal bases, maybe use the bunt game.”
TCU will appear in its sixth College World Series on Friday. Centerfielder Elijah Nunez said he wants to do more than make an appearance.
“We know that if we just continue to play our game that we will be national champions,” Nunez said. “I want to play at the biggest stage and put Fort Worth back on the map because we haven’t been [to the College World Series] in a while.”

“I’m doing this because of those memories of going to the [College] World Series,” he said. “It’s the most amazing time in a young man’s life—to see the success and not care who gets credit for it. Every single day there’s a new hero. It’s a selfless, amazing feeling to be able to see a group of kids honestly not care who gets the credit.”
3B Brayden Taylor said @TCU_Baseball started having more fun in May. There was little to lose at that point anyway. Series wins against Fullerton, Baylor and Kansas State and a Big 12 tournament title run re-stoked the confidence. #FrogballUSA #GoFrogshttps://t.co/3ThBw8uUX3
