West Virginia will enter the Big 12 Baseball Championship the No. 4 seed after wrapping up the regular season Saturday with a 6-5 win against TCU at Lupton Stadium,
The Mountaineers (33-20, 19-11 Big 12) and No. 9 Horned Frogs (31-19, 14-16) are set to battle again in the second game of the Big 12 Baseball Championship when it begins Tuesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Reed Chumley led the way with four RBI in the latest victory, which allowed WVU to secure a series victory.
Chumley’s three-run home run punctuated the Mountaineers’ four-run eighth inning, allowing a 2-1 lead to grow to five runs.
WVU needed every bit of it as TCU got a two-run double from Chase Brunson to pull to within two, before Jack Arthur’s run-scoring single cut the Horned Frogs’ deficit in half.
Luke Lyman then came on and struck out Brody Green to seal the result.
West Virginia won seven of its 10 Big 12 series and three of its last four.
