For a pitcher, an Opening Night start is a big moment.
Good thing Jared Janczak is used to those.
The sophomore right-hander, who had two College World Series starts among four total in the postseason last year, gave up just two hits and two earned runs in 6-plus innings Friday night to lead No. 1 TCU to a 6-3 victory against Penn State in the season opener at Lupton Stadium.
Janczak (1-0) needed only 61 pitches to cruise through six innings before a hit batsman on the first pitch of the seventh inning, a four-pitch walk and a base hit to load the bases with no outs and chased him.
