Fourth-ranked TCU put a little more distance between its closest competitor in the Big 12 standings with a 4-1 victory over No. 6 Texas Tech in Friday’s opener of a three-game weekend series.
Catcher Evan Skoug reached base three times with two singles and a hit by pitch, and scored twice to lead the Frogs (31-9, 12-4 Big 12), who took advantage of six walks and two hit batsmen to go with their 10 hits.
The victory puts TCU three games ahead of the Red Raiders (34-12, 9-7), who began the day tied with West Virginia for second in the Big 12.
