TCU baseball pushes back start time vs. Cal on Saturday
With the men’s basketball team hosting No. 2 Baylor at 1 p.m. on Saturday, the baseball team has decided to push back its start time.
TCU and Cal will play at 3 p.m., instead of 2 p.m., on Saturday at Lupton Stadium. This gives the school a chance to accommodate traffic better, as well as allowing fans an opportunity to attend both games.
Saturday’s baseball game is the middle game of a three-game series.

The Horned Frogs have scored at least 10 runs in five games this season.
Cal is picked to finish tied for seventh in the Pac-12 preseason poll. The Bears are off to a 3-5 start, although they’ve won their last two games.
TCU is expected to start redshirt sophomore Johnny Ray for the series opener on Friday. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. at Lupton Stadium.
Right-hander Charles King will start Saturday’s matchup at 3 p.m., and left-hander Russell Smith is scheduled to start the finale at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
