Series Evened As TCU Takes Second Game

FT. WORTH, Texas – Freshman starter Kole Klecker tossed six strong innings while #23 TCU evened the weekend series against visiting UNCW with a 17-5 win over the Seahawks on Saturday at Lupton Field.

Tre Richardson led the top of the order with three hits and he scored twice. The 1-4 batters in the TCU lineup combined to go 9-for-17 with 11 runs scored and seven knocked in. Brayden Taylor, the preseason Big-12 Player of the Year, was 2-for-3, scored four times and belted his team-leading 11th homer of the season.

Kevin Pitarra had two hits and two runs batted in while Brock Wills and Aidan Evans both homered. For Wills, it was his second of the season while Evans hit his first collegiate roundtripper.
