The No. 6 Texas Longhorns (37-12, 14-6) missed an opportunity to take the series against the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs (34-11, 16-4) in Fort Worth on Saturday in a 2-1 loss.
Texas went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position with zero RBI, leaving 11 runners on base. Combined with three baserunning mistakes in the first three innings and some poor luck on hard-hit balls in play, the Longhorns were stymied offensively.
With runners on first and second with two outs in the ninth inning, first baseman Zach Zubia capped a poor day by watching a third strike to end the game and set up a huge Sunday matchup with the winner taking the series.
