The Horned Frogs (47-16) got a masterful outing from 6-foot-9 starter Brian Howard (9-2). He allowed two hits, and one of those was to the Aggies’ first hitter, J.B. Moss.
The rangy junior settled in and kept the Aggies (49-16) off-balance for seven innings. TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle then turned to hard-throwing reliever Durbin Feltman to close out the stunned Aggies.
A&M led 1-0 nearly half the game before TCU tied it in the top of the fifth on a passed ball by catcher Mike Barash.
In the seventh, the Horned Frogs scored on a bases-loaded walk by A&M reliever Andrew Vinson, a sacrifice fly against Mark Ecker, and then a wild pitch by Ecker.
