ARLINGTON, Texas - Brian Kervin's two-run single inside the bag at first base capped off a three-run sixth inning as TCU took the lead for good and won going away in handing UT Arlington an 11-5 defeat Wednesday afternoon in Fort Worth.
The rally started with one out as Andrew Walker singled and Matt Vern followed with a double down the left-field line. After Clint Arnold was hit by a pitch, Ben Carruthers drove in a run on groundout to a diving Jerry Fisher to tie the game and set up Kervin's game winner.
UTA (9-11) jumped on the board in the first as Brock Wilson started the game with a double to right right center and Daniel Rieder followed with a single to left center. Mitch Putman drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to the fence in left field.
TCU (12-6) answered back in the bottom of the inning as Keith Conlon collected a two-out single into the hole at short and came around to score on an Austin Adams triple off the right-field fence. It marked the fifth-straight game the Mavs have allowed a run in the first inning.
The Frogs offense was back at it in the third as a pair of singles set up Adams' bloop double into no-man's land in left field to score one and Matt McGuirk followed with an RBI single into the hole at short.
The Mavs got the equalizer in the fourth as David McLeod doubled just inside the line at third, Ben Burum walked and Kyle Rudy singled to short to load the bases. David Newby drove in McLeod with a single through the left side and Wilson delivered a fielder's choice RBI to second.
