 TCU sweeps UH-Hilo: Chris Bradshaw and Justin Crowder pitched complete games as Texas Christian swept a doubleheader from Hawai‘i-Hilo, 14-2 and 6-1, in Western Athletic Conference baseball yesterday at TCU Diamond in Fort Worth, Texas.
The series concludes today before the Vulcans (3-10, 2-3 WAC) move on to play top-ranked Rice Thursday through Saturday at Reckling Park in Houston.

Bradshaw (2-1) allowed two earned runs, five hits and three walks while striking out four for the Horned Frogs (6-5, 2-0) in the first game.
TCU tagged four UH-Hilo pitchers for 14 hits. Vulcans’ starter Ben Siff (1-1) lasted three innings, allowing five runs and six hits.
Walter Olmstead led TCU by batting 3-for-3 with three runs and two RBIs.
In the second game, Crowder (2-0) allowed one earned run and four hits with eight strikeouts.
UH-Hilo starter Anthony Bernal (0-2) worked 6á innings, allowing eight hits, five walks and four runs.
Olmstead again led the TCU attack, batting 2-for-4, including a two-run home run. He finished with three RBIs.
Billy Rayl had two of the Vulcans’ four hits.
