OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Phillip Sikes hit a walk-off single and No. 2 seed TCU overcame an early four-run deficit to beat No. 7 seed Kansas State 7-6 in the Big 12 Tournament. TCU plays No. 3 seed Texas Tech on Thursday, while Kansas State faces sixth-seeded Baylor. Hunter Wolfe started the bottom of the ninth by hustling to second on a hit down the right-field line, and he advanced to third on Conner Shepherd’s deep shot to left. Sikes’ slow-bouncing grounder got past Kansas State pitcher Tyler Eckberg and the drawn-in infield to score Wolfe. Wolfe also had a two-RBI double in the first to pull TCU within 4-2.
