Baseball is a unique game, in that the entire complexity of a game — or even a season — can change with a single swing of the bat.
Maybe that’s what happened for TCU Wednesday, when Phillip Sikes’ walk-off winner ignited a program that had been floundering for the better part of a month headed into the Big 12 Tournament. But the team we saw bright and early Friday morning is the team that was ranked as high as #3 in the nation and seemed a lock for a national seed just a few weeks ago, dismantling a really good Texas Tech team from the mound and the batter’s box on the way to a 7-2 win.
