FRISCO, Texas — Owen White (Carson) started the baseball season strong on Friday.
White was the starting pitcher in a Double A Texas League game for the Frisco Roughriders.
White, a second-round pick by the Texas Rangers in 2018, didn’t figure in the decision.
He pitched three shutout innings and threw 31 of 48 pitches for strikes.
White allowed a lead-off single in the first, but that was the only hit he allowed. He had a 1-2-3 second inning and walked the lead-off batter in the third before getting the next three hitters out.
He struck out one batter.
Frisco (1-1) lost 3-1 to the Amarillo Sod Poodles, a Diamondbacks farm team that includes Jordan Lawlar, one of baseball’s top hitting prospects.
