TCU saw its 13-game winning streak come to an end Friday as West Virginia scored three times on sacrifice flies, including Ivan Gonzalez’s second of the game in the bottom of the ninth, for a 4-2 victory in the opener of a three-game weekend series.
The Big 12 Conference teams meet again Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m.
Third-ranked TCU (27-6, 8-2) got off to a good start in the top of the first when Luken Baker’s two-out double to deep right field scored Cam Warner, who had reached on an error.
But the Mountaineers (20-12, 7-3) rebounded with a run in the bottom of the inning, two in the fourth and one in the fifth for a 4-1 lead.
