Jared Janczak, who won a Super Regional game at Texas A&M last season, will start Game 1 of the season-opening series for TCU against Penn State on Friday, coach Jim Schlossnagle said.
The sophomore right-hander will be followed by senior right-hander Brian Howard, who was unbeaten in postseason last year, on Saturday and freshman left-hander Nick Lodolo, the highest-drafted player not to sign last season, on Sunday.
Senior right-hander Mitchell Traver, who has eight career postseason appearances, will start on Tuesday at UT Arlington.
Game 1 of the Penn State series is scheduled for 6:30 p.
