Texas Tech couldn’t solve Nick Lodolo.The TCU left-handed pitcher threw eight strong innings and shutdown a Red Raider offense that put up 27 runs earlier this week on New Mexico.Behind the performance the fifth-ranked Frogs defeated No. 8 Tech, 4-1, Friday at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park and widened its lead in the Big 12 conference.“Anytime you have a guy like him that turns down that kind of money — and being a scout in the past I can see why they wanted him. He is a very projectionable guy — you have to be sound at the plate and really battle,” Tech pitching coach Ray Hayward said. “We just have to be better tomorrow.”Lodolo (5-1) only gave up one run on four hits and three walks. He struck out four.
