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.

Posted by Scott in Seattle | June 24, 2010 at 9:14 am | ShortcutWhat 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.
