Published Feb 28, 2011

Frogs’ pitching is stellar, but offense needs to adjust

Published Feb 27, 2011

No. 4 TCU looked as if their offense was destined to be shutout for the first six innings in a 8-4 loss to No. 12 Cal State-Fullerton Saturday. Titans' pitcher Tyler Pill had Frog hitter off balance for most of the day.

However, TCU senior first baseman Joe Weik drew a walk to put runners on first and second with just one out. TCU scored twice, and again in the eighth inning as they threatened Cal State Fullerton's bullpen. Senior second baseman Jerome Pena doubled in a run to tie the game and advanced to third with just one out.
