UT loses three-run lead, falls in 10th

Horns drop to 31-19 as late-inning rally sets stage for TCU.

Texas let go of a threerun lead after 6½ innings, falling to No. 9 TCU 4-3 in 10 innings Sunday in Fort Worth to close its series with the Horned Frogs.

The Longhorns (31-19, 9-11 Big 12) took a 1-0 lead in the third on a bases-loaded sacrifice by Travis Jones.

Kody Clemens added to Texas’ lead in the sixth with his fifth home run of the season. Clemens finished the game 3-for-4 at the plate.

In the top of the seventh, a TCU error led to a run scored by David Hamilton.

The Horned Frogs (3511, 15-6) got two runs in the bottom half of the inning off relief pitcher Chase Shugart, who took over from starter Kyle Johnson.

Johnson allowed just two hits and four walks. Shugart entered with two runners on after a pair of walks from Johnson. The sophomore then walked the first two batters he faced, bringing home TCU’s first run.

After a strikeout, Shugart walked in another run. His day was also done, and Beau Ridgeway got out of the jam with the bases loaded and Texas leading by one.

The Horned Frogs tied it in the eighth on a two-out double from Evan Skoug.

Nick Kennedy tossed a scoreless ninth inning for Texas, but Luken Baker hit a walkoff double in the 10th to seal the series sweep.

Texas is off this week and will return to the field May 16 against Incarnate Word at Disch-Falk Field. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
