Stehly, Gordon lead Texas past TCU for berth in Big 12 semis
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Murphy Stehly hit a three-run home run in the top of the first inning, Lucas Gordon pitched into the eighth and No. 5 seed Texas never trailed in a 5-3 victory over top-seeded TCU in the Big 12 Tournament. Two-time conference champion TCU (36-19) will play an elimination game against either No. 2 seed Texas Tech or third-seeded Oklahoma on Friday. Texas (41-17) is idle until the semifinals Saturday. Gordon tossed 7 2/3 innings for Texas, allowing two runs — one earned — on two hits and two walks. He struck out four in upping his record to 7-1 on the season.
