The No. 28 Horned Frogs baseball team will try to get the first win against a Big 12 opponent of the season tonight against the No. 21 Oklahoma University Sooners.The team extended its home winning streak to 18 games after taking a three-game set from the University of California at Santa Barbara Gauchos last weekend, bringing the squad’s record to 21-8. However, tonight’s contest will be played on the road in Norman, Okla. as the team starts an eight-game road trip. This could present a problem as the Horned Frogs are 7-8 while suiting up away from Lupton Stadium this season.

During head coach Jim Schlossnagle’s tenure at TCU, the Horned Frogs have gone 2-5 against the Sooners. The last time the two teams squared off was in the 2006 NCAA Regional Tournament, where the Sooners knocked out the Horned Frogs 15-6 in an elimination game.

Last weekend’s sweep of the Gauchos featured a potent Frogs offense as the team pounded out 34 hits over three games en route to scoring 28 total runs.

During the series, the relievers turned in lights-out performances as the bullpen worked more than eight scoreless innings, and closer Sam Demel earned credit for two of the wins.

Demel’s win in the third game of the series capped off a late-inning come-from-behind victory keyed by some timely hits and sloppy Gaucho fielding. The comeback victories in the second and third games of the series were paid in large part to the four-run rally in the second game and the five-run eighth inning scoring in the series finale.
