Last Road Series for TCU Baseball Team

Last Road Series for TCU Baseball Team

Published May 2, 2007

After getting the recent six-game winning streak snapped by Baylor Tuesday night, the TCU baseball team will travel to Salt Lake City on Friday where it will play the University of Utah Utes in their last three road games of the season. The Horned Frogs (34-11, 15-2) gave up three runs to Baylor in the second inning- the only runs of the game giving TCU its second home loss this season.

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle attributed the Horned Frogs offensive struggles to the performance of Baylor Bears starter Wade Mackey, who threw his first-ever complete game.

Some midday showers must have put a damper on the Horned Frogs bats as the 34-11 baseball team was held to just two hits, Tuesday night.

Credit indeed goes to the Baylor Bears starter Wade Mackey who threw a complete game for the first time in his college career. Mackey's nine inning shutout was keyed by his command of three pitches that he kept away from the hot TCU bats which were averaging more than seven runs a game during the last week of play.

"We didn't have any good swings all night," head coach Jim Schlossnagle said. "He was good, really good."

Transfer looks to transition to major league

As the only senior to have attended two different colleges before deciding to play as a Horned Frog, Keith Conlon has had some experiences that none of his teammates can match.Before coming to TCU in 2005, Conlon red-shirted at Oral Roberts University and played one season at Weatherford Junior College.

"The baseball was good, but the school wasn't what I was looking for," outfielder Conlon said about Oral Roberts. "I learned a lot and became a better player there."

Weatherford gave Conlon an opportunity to show off his skills to another audience.

In kindergarten, parents encourage their children to follow their dreams and pursue a field they love. In college, when parents have to pay for school, the idea of pursuing a field based on passion changes drastically to pursuing a field that can potentially help pay off loans.

Golfer, engineer finds time for school, sport

Forget working after college. A few days after she crosses the graduation stage, Camille Blackerby will join her fellow senior and golf teammate in Sweden for a week. But, when she runs out of money, the mechanical engineering major has a job lined up with a small engineering firm in Dallas starting June 18.

Purdy-McGuire Inc. has 40 members on staff, but Blackerby said that's the way she likes it--small is her style.

A self-professed small-town girl, Blackerby hails from Breckenridge, a town just east of Fort Worth with a population less than 6,000.
