White surrendered seven hits and
six base-on-balls, but also kept the
Jackets’ hitters off stride throughout
with an assortment of offspeed junk,
which led to seven strikeouts and
several popups.
Senior fireballer Todd Sohrt
turned in another impressive K per-
formance for Alvin (6-7, 1-3 in
District 24-5A), fanning 15 hitters to
match the right-hander’s season-
high, set a week earlier.
However, unlike the outing against
Brazoswood, the senior was lit up
for 10 hits, four walks and a hit bat-
ter and was unable to escape a huge
four-run third inning.
Sohrt whiffed the first six of seven
