OMAHA, Neb. - It looked like TCU's magical College World Series run would end Wednesday evening, but Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium exploded at the crack of the bat in the eighth inning as Matt Curry hit a moon-shot grand slam over the center field wall to lead TCU to a 11-7 comeback win over Florida State.

The Horned Frogs, on life support and down 7-3 in the eighth inning, exploded for eight runs off Curry's 18th home run of the season and Jantzen Witte's fourth homer of the season.

Freshman Pitcher of the Year Matt Purke's record-breaking 16th win wasn't business as usual. But he'll take a win any way he can.

"Coming in I was tied with Lance Broadway, and certainly to be in that category with those guys at TCU, its awesome to have the record," Purke said. "But hopefully next year I can break my own.
