OKC Dodgers 7 vs Reno Aces (DBacks) 0
On the Mound
Mitch White was absolutely brilliant. I do not know how many people have actually visited the Reno Greater Nevada Field, and while it is a great venue, it is also a launching pad. All Mitch White did was to pitch 6.0 scoreless innings on 3 hits. He did not issue any walks, but recorded 4 Ks. He threw 79 pitches (58 strikes). He has absolutely nothing left to prove in MiLB.
Mitch White threw just 79 pitches in 6 innings tonight for OKC. He gave up no runs, struck out 4, and have up just 3 hits. Here's how it looked. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #mitchwhite pic.twitter.com/2M9smHNqVJ
