State Fullerton, Georgia Tech, Florida, Arizona State and Texas.
TCU made its first trip to the College World Series a year ago.
The Frogs have won six straight MWC regular-season titles.
Junior right-hander Kyle Winkler is a semifinalist for the
Golden Spikes Award. He had worked at least six innings in each

in the 37th round of the 2008 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee
Brewers. Sophomore lefty Matt Purke was expected to be a high
draft pick this season, but a shoulder injury had hampered his
season. He was a first-round pick of the Texas Rangers in the
