FORT WORTH -- Mitchell Traver allowed one hit in seven-plus innings, Evan Skoug hit a three-run homer and host TCU opened its rain-delayed Fort Worth Regional with a 9-6 victory against Central Connecticut State on Saturday night.
Skoug's shot in a six-run eighth inning actually came early Sunday morning after rain wiped out the opening day of the regional Friday and delayed by another four hours the start of the Virginia-Dallas Baptist opener Saturday.
Virginia won 6-3 and will face the Horned Frogs (43-16), seeded sixth nationally, in the winners bracket Sunday night. The Blue Devils (36-21) will play Dallas Baptist in an elimination game.
