CWS: Howard, Merrill lead TCU past Texas A&M

Kelley Robertson | 22 June, 2017, 06:07

The moniker might just stick. Those teams play Tuesday night in a winner's bracket contest. The Aggies end their season at 41-23. And looking back, I don't think that anyone tried to hit a 4-run bomb or 5- run bomb.

Brian Howard (12-3) earned the win for TCU. "Big Game Howie, as he's affectionately known in Fort Worth, showed up today". "Just fantastic through the great pitching history of our program in the last 14 years, with a lot of really good pitchers, Big Leaguers, that kind of thing, and for Brian to be the only back-to-back 10-game-or-more victor in our program is an awesome statement for him and Coach [Kirk] Saarloos and the program in general". Sunday's performance marked the second straight multi-hit game for Fitch, who was 3-for-5 with a RBI in the NCAA Super Regional win against Kentucky on June 10.

Howard only allowed multiple hits in one inning.

Federer, who was upset by German veteran Tommy Haas on his return from a two-month break last Wednesday, hit eight aces and converted five of his 13 break opportunities to beat the 66th-ranked Sugita in 52 minutes.

"I think today was probably the best stuff I had all season", Howard said.

"A four-pitch walk is on me, and then a jam shot and (Liput) golfed the ball over the fence", McClure said. "I felt like I was attacking the strike zone from the beginning and I was able to carry that through". We'll try to figure them out. "That guy's a really good pitcher". "When he gets in a groove, he's got good stuff".

The Aggies did not have many chances against Howard.

It was a bit of a surprise when Aggies coach Rob Childress announced Friday that Martin would get the start.

"There is a lot of maroon up there, and we love that". I feel like he's here with us.

Texas A&M is chasing a national championship this week in Omaha, but amidst the practice and media session that sat on Monday's busy schedule, the Aggies made a visit to the Omaha Children's Hospital. After Cam Warner grounded out to third for the second out of the frame, the inning was given extra life when Brown reached on an error by Braden Shewmake to put runners on the corners.

The Frogs padded their lead in the third.

This version corrects when Ryan Merrill was drafted.

"I don't hit many home runs", Merrill said, "so I was sprinting".

"As soon as I saw it leave, that's when it just hit me how cool that experience is", Merrill said.

That reminded me of something former TCU recruiting coordinator Tony Vitello (now the new head coach at Tennessee) said of Howard back in the fall of 2013, when he was a freshman.

"Don't get me wrong, the Milan crowds were great - but it was definitely a big atmosphere and crowd", Wolf said.

"The guys believed an very bad lot", Childress told those gathered in Omaha on Friday. I remember all the chants at the field.

But now the Aggies are in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, for the sixth time in program history.

Howard was excited about his roommate's home run. Evan Skoug doubled in a run and Elliott Barzilli had an RBI single to make it 4-0.

The Aggies scratched for a run in the sixth. Austin Homan got the rally started slapping a first-pitch offering to centerfield for a leadoff single.

Howard left after George Janca doubled leading off the eighth. TCU would bring in Sean Wymer to counter and the Aggies couldn't answer. A bloop double to left field and consecutive 6-3 ground outs resulted in the first run of the day for the Frogs in the second.

"It was special for me to see what he did before me", Wymer said, "and I did the same thing in the Super Regional too".
