White Too Much For The Pirates

Maybe pitching for the last time in front of the Carolina faithful in Chapel Hill, Greenville Native Alex White pitched maybe his best game ever as he lead the Tarheels of North Carolina to a 10-1 rout of the Pirates of ECU.

White struck out his twelfth batter his career high as the first out of the ninth inning and in a classy move by Mike Fox went to the mound and removed White from the game. Fox left White standing on the mound alone waiting for his replacement where the Carolina crowd plus Greenville supporters could applaud White as he walked off the mound for possibly the last time.

Tuesday is Major league draft day and White as a Junior is expected to be drafted in the first round.

ECU and Carolina play game two at noon Sunday and a Carolina victory will send the Heels to the College World Series for the third year in a row. If the Pirates win game three will be Monday but the time of the game is up in the air at this point depending on how many other regionals will need to be played also on Monday.

There will be no world Series for Florida State as the ACC regular season champs lose twice in a row to Arkansas a Southeastern Conference team that failed to win half of their conference games during the regular season.

Virginia is still alive and will play game three of their series Sunday after beating Mississippi 4-3 Saturday after losing 3-2 Friday.

Eastern Wayne on Saturday managed to survive in the 3-A baseball Championship at Mudcat stadium. They won game two 3-0 and in the second game of today's championship doubleheader they lose the second game 8-7.

Got a call from Joe Bell and Nash County American Legion starts their home schedule Tuesday night at Northern Nash.

I would like to let you know my Monday blog will feature the greatest baseball team in Nash County history. Check Monday and see if you agree.
