After converting the first 18 save opportunities of his career, TCU closer Durbin Feltman has a new challenge — recovering from his first blown save.
“That’s all part of pitching in that role. You’ve got to have a short memory when you pitch well, and now it’s an opportunity to have a short memory when you don’t pitch well,” coach Jim Schlossnagle said. “You can’t let it steamroll into anything other than just a bad day.”
Feltman, a sophomore from Conroe, was 9-for-9 in save opportunities last year and 9-for-9 this year until Sunday in the series finale at West Virginia, when he hit a batter with one out and walked the next three to force in the tying run.
