With the win, TCU advances to the Big 12 title game for the second time in three years. This time, it will be a matchup with the four-seed Arizona. The Wildcats defeated BYU 4-1 in the quarterfinal and demolished top-seeded West Virginia 12-1 in the semifinal.

The Horned Frogs had an opportunity to tie or take the lead in the bottom of the 10th inning as Anthony Silva eventually reached second after being hit by a pitch. But Sam Myers struck out for the final out as the Wildcats won the tournament in their first season in the Big 12.
