Bowen homers and drives in five
FORT WORTH – No. 5 TCU scored five runs in the first and never looked back as it routed No. 20 UCLA 13-3 in seven innings to complete the series sweep Sunday afternoon at Lupton Stadium. Karson Bowen homered and drove in five to lead the offense.
Â
The Rundown
UCLA put together the game's first threat as it loaded the bases on two walks and an error with nobody out in the first. Zack Morris (1-0) got a big strikeout for the first out and then induced an inning-ending double play to keep the Bruins off the board.
Â
Peyton Chatagnier set the tone for the offense with a lead-off home run in the bottom of the first. The hit parade continued as TCU batter around in the inning. Logan Maxwell beat a throw home to make it a 2-0 game. Karson Bowen singled to drive in a run and Sam Myers lined a bases-loaded single into right center for a 5-0 lead.
Â
Two more runs crossed the plate for the Frogs in the second. Maxwell doubled for the second time in the game to drive in a run and Bowen picked up his second RBI with a base hit for a 7-0 lead.
Â
UCLA pushed across a pair of runs in the third, but TCU got one back in the fourth on a Bowen bases-loaded sacrifice fly.
Â
Another five spot in the sixth pushed TCU's lead to double-digits, 13-3. Bowen started the scoring with a two run home run. Two walks followed by a wild pitch had two in scoring position. Brody Green drove in Chase Brunson to make it a 11-3 game. A two-out bases loaded error allowed the final two runs of the game to score.
Â
Morris (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits in picking up his first win as a Horned Frog. He walked four and struck out five. Caedmon Parker allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in two innings. Andrew Mosiello struck out two and retired all three batters he faced in the seventh.Â
