First Place & More On The Line This Weekend…
Collegebaseball360.com contributor Stephen Francis covers TCU for Examiner.com. We talked with him earlier this week in our podcast to talk about the Horned Frogs and their big series this weekend in Albuquerque vs. the New Mexico Lobos.

Of the eleven (and a third) games remaining in the regular season for the TCU baseball team, the following three may be the most important. This weekend, the Horned Frogs travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the series that could clinch them the Mountain West Conference regular season title. Of course, the task looks much easier in writing than it actually is.
With a 12-5 record in conference play, and at 30-15 overall, the New Mexico Lobos currently sit two games behind the Frogs in the Mountain West standings and are just outside the top 25 in most of college baseball’s major polls. This team is more than capable of taking a key series. Just ask Texas; who fell victim to the Lobos in two out of three games to start the season.
Obviously, that’s the most prestigious on on New Mexico’s resume and with the Longhorns’ current 21-game winning streak going on, that’s all they really need. This team is good enough for an at-large bid to the NCAA baseball tournament, and they’re even good enough to pull an upset on the Horned Frogs. That means taking the series is all-the-more important for TCU.
