Weatherford, Texas - The Texas Collegiate League held its All-Star Game at Roger Williams Stadium Monday night, and TCU was well represented with six players between the two teams. The rosters and starting lineups for each squad were selected by the head coaches in that respective division.
Matt Carpenter, Taylor Cragin, Dillon Farish, Hunt Woodruff, and Bryan Kervin were chosen for the Tris Speaker Division team, while Donald Furrow was selected to the Rogers Hornsby troop.
Carpenter was selected as the starter at third base for the All-Star Game after leading the Duncanville Deputies with his .375 batting average after the first half of the summer. Carpenter started all 62 games for the Frogs in 2006. He was second on the team in batting, hitting a solid .349. Carpenter had 10 doubles, along with a triple and a home run. He was named to the second-team all-Mountain West Conference squad.
Cragin and Farish represented the Euless LoneStars. Cragin is 4-0 with a 2.42 ERA in 26 innings for the LoneStars. As a freshman for the Frogs in 2006, he had an 0-0 record with 5.82 ERA in 17 innings pitched. Farish is 2-1 with a 2.13 earned run average in 11 games. He has served as the closer, leading the LoneStars with four saves. Farish went 3-1 in 2006 for the Frogs with 5.11 ERA and 2 saves. He tossed 37 innings in 30 games, striking out 33 and walking only 11.
