FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) _ Evan Skoug homered for the second straight day, Brian
Howard extended an impressive postseason pitching streak and TCU advanced to its
fourth consecutive College World Series with an 8-1 super regional victory over
Missouri State Sunday night. Howard struck out 11 while scattering four hits.

Hunter Steinmetz hit a leadoff homer for the Bears, who were trying for the second College World Series berth after knocking off host Arkansas in the Fayetteville Regional.

Skoug’s two-run homer gave the Horned Frogs a 4-1 lead in the third inning after his two-run shot in the eighth of the opener erased a one-run deficit and sent TCU on the way to its first super regional sweep.

The Bears end the season with a 43-20 record.
