TCU, Howard close out sweep of Oklahoma State with authority

After dropping a chance to sweep a conference series last week, TCU and starting pitcher Brian Howard did not miss again.

Howard struck out nine in seven innings, both season highs, and the third-ranked Horned Frogs banged out 11 hits in a 5-1 victory against No. 16 Oklahoma State on Sunday at Lupton Stadium to finish a three-game sweep.

Howard threw 119 pitches, closing a 10-pitch battle against Cameron Dobbs with a strikeout to finish his best outing of the season. Last week, with TCU trying to sweep Kansas, Howard left with his team trailing after 5.
