Leadoff hitter’s 5-for-5 gets TCU rolling to 12th straight win

By the sixth inning, Austen Wade had five hits, and No. 3 TCU was on the way to a 13-2 run-rule victory against Murray State.

He put the feat in perspective.

“Honestly, to get to the plate five times by the sixth inning, everybody else in the lineup’s got to be hitting, too,” he said. “I got to the plate a bunch today, just put good swings on balls.”

The junior right fielder went 5-for-5, capping a career day with a two-run single in the sixth inning that gave the Horned Frogs a double-digit margin to close out the game in seven innings.
