TCU seemed to capture all of the late momentum during Friday afternoon’s College World Series opener against Oral Roberts, scoring three eighth-inning runs against talented closer Cade Denton to take a 5-2 lead entering the top of the ninth inning. With the Horned Frogs two outs away from victory, however, Oral Roberts stunned the TCU faithful after No. 9 hitter Blaze Brothers crushed a three-run homer off right-hander Luke Savage that ultimately lifted the Golden Eagles over the Horned Frogs 6-5. TCU had two batters reach base in the bottom of the ninth inning, but a lineout to left field sealed the Horned Frog defeat.
