ARLINGTON, Texas – Andrew Gross set the UTA single-season record for saves as he helped UTA beat no. 19 TCU for the first time in three tries this season in a 6-3 Mavs home win Tuesday night at Clay Gould Ballpark.
 
Trailing by three runs, the Horned Frogs loaded the bases with two outs, but Gross forced a ground out to notch his 15th save of the season. Gross' 15 saves topped the old UTA program record for saves in a season of 14 (Jason Watkins, 1992).
 
Dylan Paul's sac fly brought Will Olson home for the first run of the game in the bottom of the second inning.
 
UTA's first two hitters reached base in the bottom of the third inning, setting the stage for Zac Cook to single Aaron Funk home.
 
In the following at-bat, Boone Montgomery scored on an Anthony Dominguez sac fly. UTA closed out the three-run inning with Olson driving Cook home for a 4-0 Mavs lead.
 
Paul led the fourth inning off with his third home run of the season to give the Mavs a 5-0 lead.
 
Olson showed his value behind the plate in the top of the fifth when he and Montgomery combined to pick off Zach Humphreys at third. Humphreys led off the inning with a triple.
 
The Mavs added another run when Andrew Miller grounded out to third base to score Cook in the bottom of the fifth.
 
The Horned Frogs (22-13) got on the board when Johnny Rizer cleared the bases with a single up the middle to cut the deficit to 6-2. Dylan Schneider then came in the game, forced a double play and a flyout to get out of the inning.
 
TCU added another run in the eighth inning, but the Horned Frogs never got closer than three runs.
