I almost feel badly for opponents when this version of the TCU offense shows up, the one that can frustrate pitchers with their patience at the plate, drawing walks and upping pitch counts, and then turn on a strike and send it over the fence again... and again... and again.
That version of the lineup showed up and showed out Wednesday night, striking for 18 runs off of three different UTRGV arms, including the first career home runs for senior Mason Hesse and freshman Zach Humphreys. Both players were making rare starts for TCU; Hesse taking over for the red-hot Ryan Merrill at short and Humphreys giving Evan Skoug a much needed break behind the plate - though Skoug remained in the lineup at DH.
