Evan Skoug admitted he had never experienced anything like his 1-for-15 start to the season.
“I was getting a little frustrated,” the veteran TCU hitter said. “That’s probably the longest I’ve gone with that many strikeouts.”
Now his season includes a home run. His two-run drive to left field in the eighth inning broke a tie and sent the No. 1 Horned Frogs to a 7-2 victory at UT Arlington before a Clay Gold Ballpark-record 2,008 on Tuesday night.
Skoug’s drive carried just over the fence and gave the Frogs (4-0) a 4-2 lead. For him, it broke a 1-for-15 stretch with 11 strikeouts.
