Offense Stymied In 2-0 Loss At Texas

AUSTIN, Texas – Brian Howard's first career complete game wasn't enough as TCU's offense was held to just four hits in a 2-0 loss at Texas on Friday night.
The Rundown
Brian Howard and Texas' Ty Culbreth went toe-to-toe through the first five innings of the game. TCU mustered just three base runners on a hit and two walks, while the Longhorns managed just two hits.
The game was decided in the sixth inning. TCU had the first chance to strike as a single, a double and an intentional walk loaded the bases with only one out. Cam Warner singled with one out and moved to third on an Evan Skoug double. The Longhorns intentionally walked Luken Baker to set up a potential double play. The strategy paid off and TCU was held off the board.
Texas seized on the momentum and turned it into the lead. Back-to-back singles had runners on the corners for the Longhorns with nobody out. Howard got a big double play ball of his own, but on the turn, Tyler Rand scored the first run of the game. Tres Barrera doubled the lead with a two-out home run.
The Longhorn bullpen pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings to lock up the win.
Howard (4-1) was solid in turning in his first career complete game. He allowed just five hits and struck out a career-high nine batters in eight innings of work.
Stat of the Game
4 – TCU had a season-low four hits in the game. That's the fewest hits in a game for the Horned Frogs since a 1-0 win over Texas Southern on Feb. 25, 2014.
Notes
• The last time TCU was shutout in the regular season was on March 11, 2013 at Rice.
• TCU played errorless baseball for 10th time this season.
• Cam Warner stretched his hitting streak to 11 games.
• Austen Wade has reached base safely in 10 straight games.
• Elliott Barzilli has hit safely in seven straight.
• Elliott Barzilli and Luken Baker have reached base in seven straight games.
• Elliott Barzilli collected his team-leading 13th multi-hit game and the 28th of his career.
Next Up
TCU falls to 17-5 on the season and 3-2 in conference play. TCU will try and salvage a game in the series on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is set for 2:30 p.m. The game will be televised on FOX Sports 1.
