Texas Baseball: Longhorns series vs. TCU delayed due to weather

Due to adverse weather in Fort Worth, TX, this weekend’s three-game Big 12 series between Texas baseball and the TCU Horned Frogs will be delayed roughly by one day. An official release from Texassports.com on April 28 confirms that the three-game series this weekend between Texas and TCU will now begin on Saturday, April 29 at 6 p.m. CT.

Head coach David Pierce and the Longhorns were supposed to face head coach Kirk Saarloos and the Horned Frogs on the road at Lupton Stadium in Fort Worth on April 28. But that game will now be pushed back to May 1.

"Tickets for Friday’s re-scheduled game will be valid for the new game date on Monday, May 1. Fans with tickets to the Friday game, that cannot attend the Monday game, may exchange their ticket for Saturday or Sunday, based on availability."

Texas baseball vs. TCU series delayed one day due to weather issues in Fort Worth

Here is a look at the updated series schedule for the three games between Texas and TCU in the next few days.

• Saturday, April 29: 6 p.m. CT
• Sunday, April 30: 3 p.m. CT
• Monday, May 1: 1 p.m. CT

We will now get an early first pitch time between Texas and TCU during an early weekday due to the weather delay.

Moreover, here is a look at the pitching matchups for Texas and TCU in the three games this weekend (and on Monday).

• Game 1: Texas LHP Lucas Gordon (4-0, 1.84 ERA) vs. TCU RHP Kole Klecker (7-3, 3.93 ERA)
• Game 2: Texas TBA vs. TCU Louis Rodriguez (1-0, 5.13 ERA)
• Game 3: Texas RHP Tanner Witt (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. TCU TBA

It’s worth noting that we’re set to see the talented 6-foot-6 redshirt sophomore right-hander Tanner Witt get the start on the mound for the Longhorns for the first time this season. He is returning after he underwent Tommy John surgery, which ended his 2022 campaign in March.

Texas heads into this three-game series against TCU with a record of 28-15 (8-7 Big 12) after a dominant 18-3 win over Texas Southern at home on April 25. Meanwhile, TCU enters with a record of 23-18 (7-8 Big 12) after an 8-5 win at home on April 25 over the No. 19 Dallas Baptist Patriots.
