Published Mar 13, 2011

The No. 7 TCU baseball team exited the field of Lupton Stadium with bowed heads and slumped shoulders after losing to unranked Houston Baptist University, 7-4, on Saturday.

Junior short stop Taylor Featherston, who went 2-for-3 at the plate, said the game could have ended differently but the team didn't execute plays that could have changed the game.

"It's never good to lose, but they just played a better baseball game then we did," Featherston said. "They did the things they had to when it counted."
