The Big 12 Conference Baseball Championship seedings are final after a full slate of regular season finales concluded Saturday.

West Virginia took two of three from TCU in their final Big 12 Conference series of the regular season to claim the four seed in the Big 12 Baseball Championship and knocked the Horned Frogs down to a nine seed.

The two programs will meet again in the opening round of the Big 12 Championship Tuesday afternoon at approximately 1:30 p.m. EST at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

The Mountaineers finished with a 19-11 Big 12 conference record, marking the most Big 12 wins in program history in the first year the league moved from 24 (eight series) conference games 10 series) to 30.

Two spots were captured last weekend with Oklahoma taking the top seed last week after sweeping Baylor for the first Big 12 regular season title and Texas Tech clinched its ticket as the 10th and final spot of the tournament after the series finale against Oklahoma State was cancelled, leaving Baylor, Houston, and BYU out of the postseason.
