It was not Jared Janczak’s night. The TCU super soph, who has been their best pitcher since May last year, wasn’t as sharp as normal - partially due to an ever-changing strike zone - as he walked a career five batters and was done in just 4.0 innings. Though he gave up just three runs across six innings, it was more than enough, as Alex Faedo was dealing on the other side.
The TCU bats, which had been so good through the regional and super regional rounds, were rendered silent by Faedo, who held the Frogs to just two hits in 7.
