If TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle wanted to get strong starts out of his veteran pitchers, action for his freshman arms, confidence-building hits for the lineup, action on the basepaths while also winning every game of the season-opening series against Penn State, there is nothing left to ask.
The Horned Frogs completed a virtuoso weekend as the nation’s No. 1 team with a 9-3 victory against Penn State on Sunday at Lupton Stadium.
Luken Baker and Cam Warner hit their first home runs, freshman left-hander Nick Lodolo struck out seven in five innings to win his first start, and the Frogs stole six bases to complete a three-game set in which they outscored the Nittany Lions of the Big Ten 27-7.
