No. 7 Texas (22-9, 3-3) is set to welcome No. 23 TCU (20-9, 6-3) for a three-game series likely to have major Big 12 title implications. This marks Texas’ first conference home series of the season and a chance to get back above .500 in Big 12 play.
The Longhorns seem to be finding their stride after a dramatic series victory over Oklahoma last weekend. Texas scored 11 runs in the final three innings to take down the Sooners in Arlington.
TCU is entering the weekend looking to bounce back from dropping a home series to West Virginia last weekend. The Frogs will still be without ace Austin Krob who is dealing with an arm injury.
Here is a look at the probable pitching matchups for the weekend set:
Friday: Texas LHP Pete Hansen (5-0, 2.51) vs. TCU RHP Riley Cornelio (3-1, 3.10)
Saturday: Texas RHP Tristan Stevens (4-2, 3.16) vs. TCU RHP Marcelo Perez (2-1, 2.16)
Sunday: Texas LHP Lucas Gordon (2-1, 2.63) vs. TCU RHP Brett Walker (3-1, 4.89)
