state league hurler and ID a
member OF the San Benito club,
pitched one Of the best games OF
the season Tuesday as he let the
la Feria Hawks down with three
scattered hits 10 win a 81 victory.
White has one Of the lowest earned
run averages Of any pitcher in the
loop. but has had more than his
share OF hard luck as far as win
ming games is concerned. Several
times this season he has pitched
games where the opponents were
able to find his offerings for less
than seven hits. but errors on the
part OF his teammates would cost
him the game. just before the first
half OF the season was over, White
hurled q one-hit game, one Of the
few on Valley league records.
