‘It’s going to be a dog fight.’ TCU leaves for College World Series, their 6th trip to Omaha
TCU fans turned out in the sweltering heat Wednesday to cheer on the baseball team as they departed campus for the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Horned Frogs are making their sixth trip to the World Series, their first since 2017. They play Oral Roberts at 1 p.m. Friday.
Caroline Bredthauer came out with her son.
“We just wanted to come out and support this baseball team, they’ve had an amazing end of the season and just wanted to show them how much the community, alumni and the families here in Fort Worth support them.”
Bredthauer and her husband are TCU alumni and are ecstatic about TCU’s success across all sports.
“We live five minutes from school. We took our kids to the Fiesta Bowl, and we come to all the events. It’s been an amazing time as a community and a school,” said Bredthauer.
Bredthauer and her family didn’t attend the Super Regional because they were out of town but they plan on trying to make it to Omaha.
Bredthauer’s son was excited to see his favorite players.
“Henry loves Austin Davis, we love Tre Richardson, we like Brayden Taylor, we like everyone. It seems to be a really comprehensive awesome team,” said Bredthauer.
Davis was popular among fans, signing autographs before he got on the bus.
Richardson said: “We’re definitely one of the hottest teams in the country. It’s going to be a dog fight this whole weekend. Every team that’s there deserves to be there so we got to play our game.”
TCU coach Kirk Saarloos might’ve gotten the biggest ovation as he high-fived and chatted with fans on his way to the bus to raucous applause.
