Eight of the best teams left in college baseball will vie for the national championship in Omaha, Nebraska after a grueling tournament that started with 64 teams.
One of those teams that made it out and will have a shot at the title in Omaha is the TCU Horned Frogs, and here’s a look at how they were able to get to this point, from the regular season all the way through the Super Regional.
"After a 15-12 start, TCU has been the hottest team in college baseball, going 32-4 since the calendar flipped to April. The Frogs finished second in the Big 12’s regular-season standings behind Oklahoma State, then beat the Cowboys in the conference tournament championship game. They allowed just four runs in three games (over 42 grueling innings) in the Fort Worth Regional. Pepperdine pushed the Frogs to the brink in super regionals, but TCU scored two in the ninth to earn a thrilling come-from-behind victory in Monday’s series finale, getting them back to Omaha for the second time (the first since 2010)."
The Horned Frogs will start their College World Series journey by taking on the Texas Tech Red Raiders this weekend. How much of a chance do you give the Horned Frogs to walk away with the title from Omaha? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
