After a slow start in Sunday's showdown against No. 12 Cal State-Fullerton, the No. 4 Horned Frogs lost their first series of the season, 2-1, at Lupton Stadium.

The Frogs headed into Sunday's game 1-1 on the series against the Titans after a 4-1 win on Friday and a disappointing 8-4 loss Saturday.

Sophomore Matt Purke was scheduled to pitch Sunday's game, but was replaced by freshman pitcher Andrew Mitchell. Purke suffered from a blister, and islikely expected to return to the mound next weekend, Schlossnagle said.

TCU head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle told his team that baseball is a very simple game that is very hard to play.

No. 4 TCU couldn't muster the offense to defeat No.12 Cal State-Fullerton in the Sunday rubber match at Lupton Stadium. The Titans defeated the Frogs 2-1 to win the weekend series.

The Frogs have received great pitching and solid defense over the past two days. The downside: the offense could not get the hits to drive runners in when they were in scoring position.

Schlossnagle said the Frogs must focus on the good from the weekend.

The Frogs combined to card a 6-under par 282 Sunday to match No. 13 Auburn for the lead in the team race. TCU is the lone squad among the five leaders not currently rated among the top-20 teams in the Golfweek/Sagarin national rankings.

Head basketball coach Jim Christian said he just wants another win this season, and he'd play 20 more games this season even if he doesn't like to lose.

The Frogs were up by as much as five points in the second half of Senior Night--TCU's last home game of the season, but New Mexico extended the Frogs' losing streak to 12 games in an 80-70 victory at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum Saturday evening.

Junior Kyle Winkler's curveball was nasty for 7 1/3 innings. When Winker allowed two runners on with one out in the eighth inning, TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle went to junior closer Erik Miller.

If Winkler's curveball was great, Miller's was better. The final five batters of the game barely made contact with Miller's pitches, and he stranded runners on second and third to end the eighth.

Miller pumped his fist and hopped off the mound as TCU held onto its 3-1 lead over No. 12 Cal State Fullerton. For Miller, 2011 has started just the way he would have liked.

TCU broke five more school records Friday at the Mountain West Conference Swimming and Diving Championships inside the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatics Center.

Junior Laszlo Gyurko broke his own school record in the 100-backstroke prelims when he touched the wall in 47.44 to qualify first. Prior to the finals, the time was also a MWC all-time record.

Freshman Samantha Collins garnered bronze medal honors after soaring 19 feet, 4 inches.

TCU currently sits in fifth place on the women's side, while ending the day sixth overall for the men in the 2011 Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships at the Albuquerque Convention Center Friday.

TCU opened up its weekend series against Cal State-Fullerton with a 4-1 victory behind strong pitching performances from junior pitchers Kyle Winkler and Erik Miller. Sophomore Kyle Von Tungeln drove in two runs and scored a third to power the Frog's offense.

Winkler's second performance of the season was just as dominating as his first. In 7 1/3 innings of work, Winkler allowed a single unearned run and six hits. He struck out two batters and walked another.

In what proved to be a game of numbers, the No. 4 TCU baseball team dropped their second game in a three-game series against No. 12 Cal State-Fullerton. The Frogs ended the game 8-4 after a tumultuous ninth inning.

TCU finished with seven hits to Cal State's 10, and one error to Cal State's errorless game. The deciding factor was TCU's four runs to Cal State's eight.

When asked how the game worked out for the Frogs, Coach Jim Schlossnagle simply replied, "We lost, so it didn't work out very well for us."

Just by its mission statement alone, "To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community," it is obvious TCU puts a high value on leadership and community awareness.

But to get to the point where college students can put those words into action, they must first be admitted to college. This usually involves stressing about scholarships, financial aid and, above all, standardized test scores.
