Expected thunderstorms Tuesday force TCU baseball to cancel its game vs. Texas State
TCU baseball has seen another midweek game canceled. This time it happened to be what was scheduled as the final regular-season home game.
TCU announced on Monday that its game against Texas State scheduled for Tuesday night has been called off due to expected thunderstorms in the Fort Worth area. It’s the third straight midweek game that has been canceled and will not be rescheduled.
TCU (35-14, 16-5 Big 12) closes the regular season at Kansas State with a three-game series Thursday through Saturday. The Frogs control their own destiny as far as locking up the conference’s regular-season championship and the one-seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament in Oklahoma City.
TCU has a one-game lead over Texas with three conference games remaining. Texas hosts West Virginia to close its regular season.
TCU’s game vs. UT Rio Grande Valley last week was canceled “for the health and well-being of the UTRGV student-athletes.” A May 4 game scheduled against Incarnate Word was also canceled as TCU was in the midst of finals week.
The Frogs are coming off a weekend series in which they lost two of three to Louisiana Monroe.
The latest D1Baseball.com rankings released Monday had TCU dropping from No. 6 to No. 12.
