TCU spoiled an opportunity to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee in its bid to host a regional, losing to Utah on Wednesday night. Sloppy play and three errors contributed to the Horned Frogs' 9-7 loss on day two of the Mountain West Conference Baseball Championships at Lupton Stadium.

The team led 4-2 after three innings, but allowed the Utes to score six runs in a fourth inning that saw 10 hitters come to the plate and the Horned Frogs never regained the lead. Utah's C.J. Cron delivered the inning's big hit with a two-RBI double.

San Diego State's No. 1 draft pick prospect Stephen Strasburg left the Aztec's second Mountain West Championships game in the bottom of the eighth inning with tightness in his right back and side area.

Strasburg had held the New Mexico Lobo's scoreless through 8 when he was lifted. The Aztecs went on to win the game 2-1 despite the Lobo's scoring a run and loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth.

Aztec manager Tony Gwynn didn't seem too concerned by Strasburg's injury after the game.
