After a tornado warning and thunderstorm postponed Friday night’s game, the No. 5 TCU baseball team battled Texas to a final score of 6-5.

Horned Frog batters combined for 12 hits and six runs to beat conference opponent Texas on Saturday afternoon in a sunny Lupton Stadium.

Preston Morrison, whose earned run average is 1.81 on the season, threw just two strikeouts in the first seven and one-third innings. He totaled 104 pitches and earned the win for the Frogs (32-8, 8-5 Big 12).

Longhorn Parker French gave up all six runs for his squad and threw a total of 99 pitches in five innings.

Lefty Travis Evans took over for Morrison in the eighth, but he threw a quick five pitches to walk Longhorn Brooks Marlow before Trey Teakell replaced him. Texas (22-20, 8-8 Big 12) gained a single and a walk with Teakell on the mound.

Even closer Riley Ferrell was not on his usual game, throwing two hits in one and one-third innings. Ferrell, whose ERA stands at 0.95, needed 29 pitches over five at-bats to finish the game.

All three pitchers threw a walk each in the seventh inning.

Six different Frogs made it home in the game, and first baseman Jeremie Fagnan led his team with three hits.

Dane Steinhagen’s single in the bottom of the first sent two Frogs home, and Fagnan did the same with the help of an error in the second.

The third inning was a slow one for Horned Frog pitchers, but the defense held Texas to be runless in the inning.

Morrison threw three first-pitch outs for a quick half-inning in the fifth.

Texas earned three runs in last two innings after the score had settled at 6-2 since the fifth.

The Longhorns and Frogs had two errors each throughout the game.

The teams will begin their next match at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.
