Through 5 in the books

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Another run for the Frogs in B5th. Texas needs to score a couple in the 6th-7th, in order to have any shot. 

 

[joeywa]

Parker is getting hit hard and often here.  TCU lineup has keyed in to both his FB and his off-speed pitches.  TCU has 11 hits through 5 innings, at least 2 hits in each inning except for the 3rd inning with 1 hit.
