Despite winning the series against Utah in a thrilling 11-inning game on Saturday, and clinching a first round bye in the Big 12 tournament, TCU Horned Frog fans won't have time to celebrate as they find themselves worried.

Veteran first baseman/catcher, Karson Bowen exited Game Two against the Utes after clinching at his abdomen area. This came after a swing in the game, where Bowen came up grimacing and was looked at by TCU trainers and coaches. The Horned Frogs' lead-off would sit out game three while he awaited additional testing.

Sources confirmed that Bowen is dealing with fractured ribs after undergoing X-rays. Currently, there is no timeline on how long he will be out or if he will miss any time at all.

Bowen was batting .333 on the season with four homeruns, and was putting up a stat line comparable to his breakout freshman season.

The production in the lead-off spot will be hard to reproduce, and fans can expect to see Colton Griffin take over the role after that is where the SFA transfer began the season.

The Frogs' next game is Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. CT at Globe Life Field, against the winner of Houston and Kansas State.
