Duer tallies first career hit and RBI

SAN MARCOS, Texas – A five run third was too much for TCU to overcome as it dropped an 8-4 decision at Texas State Tuesday night at Bobcat Ballpark. Austin Davis homered for the second straight game.

The Rundown
TCU scored the first run of the game on a Jake Duer base hit to left. His first career hit drove in Kurtis Byrne who had opened the second with a base knock.

A trio of walks in the third proved disastrous as Texas State took advantage of the free passes to take the lead. August Ramirez put the Bobcats on top 2-1 with a base hit to left. A ground out followed by a two run home run had the Bobcats up four, 5-1.

Austin Davis homered with two outs in the fourth, but Texas State responded with a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning to extend its lead to five, 7-2. A pair of two out walks helped the Bobcats pick up another run in the fifth to make it an 8-2 ballgame.

The Frogs scratched across two runs in the ninth to account for the final score. Cole Fontenelle and Logan Maxwell drove in the runs for the Frogs.

Braeden Sloan (0-2) took the loss after allowing four runs on three hits in 2 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out one.
