10 In A Row! TCU Tops Murray State, 9-2
4/7/2017 12:00:00 AM | Baseball
April 7, 2017
The Rundown
Murray State picked up an unearned run in the top of the second to take an early lead. It didn't last long as Barzilli cranked a two-out, two-run home run to put the Frogs in front to stay.
A two-out base hit from Evan Skoug extended TCU's lead to two, 3-1, as he drove in Connor Wanhanen. Baker followed with a home run off the scoreboard in left for a 5-1 advantage.
The Racers picked up another unearned run in the fourth and looked to be threatening for more with the bases loaded and one out. Jared Janczak got a double-play ball to end the frame, starting a string of 10 straight retired before he gave way to the bullpen.
TCU tacked on a pair of runs each in the sixth and seventh inning to account for the final score. Cam Warner drove in two with a base hit in the sixth, while Skoug and Ryan Merrill picked up RBIs in the seventh.
Janczak (6-0) allowed two unearned runs on five hits. He walked two and fanned seven in seven innings of work. Charles King pitched the final two frames, retiring all six batters he faced.
