Crazy Eight, Redux



OMAHA—For the second time in two days, an eight-run inning proved decisive at the College World Series. But this one was considerably more dramatic than South Carolina's eight-run second against Arizona State yesterday.

Texas Christian stormed back from a four-run deficit with eight runs in the eighth to stun Florida State on Wednesday night. The big blow was Matt Curry's two-out grand slam over the batter's eye in center field, turning a 7-5 deficit into a 9-7 lead. Jantzen Witte punctuated the inning with a two-run homer two batters later, giving TCU its final 11-7 margin of victory.

Plenty more to come after postgame.

10 unearned runs says enough, FSU overachieved this year and TCU was probably the better team but thats a terrible way to lose. The trend for FSU baseball continues sadly.

Hey Aaron,
What do you think TCU needs to do to get over the hump against UCLA?  Burke seems to be a no brainer for tomorrow, but with Winkler struggling against Texas and UCLA in his last two starts, will they skip his spot?

If they win Friday, I feel very confident they’ll bring Winkler back on Saturday. He’s proven himself as a big-game pitcher and he has excellent stuff; they won’t lose confidence in him after one rough start.

Scott, it was Maxwell who struggled against Texas (and also against FSU).  Winkler was outstanding in game 3 against Texas.
