The No. 24 Arizona baseball team scored four unanswered runs after falling behind early to TCU Saturday night, securing the weekend series, 5-4. On Friday, the Wildcats won, 5-4, with the third game set to be played Sunday.

After taking a 1-0 lead in the third, Arizona (33-13 overall, 15-8 in Big 12 Conference) fell behind after spotting the Horned Frogs (32-15, 14-9) a four-run fifth. A run in the sixth gave momentum back to the Wildcats, who proceeded to score twice in the seventh to tie things up before taking the lead in the eighth.
