CHRIS WHITE showed the fans in the A-level Midwest League that his promotion by the Detroit Tigers was no clerical error Wednesday night as he went 3-for-3 with a double, and an RBI and two runs scored in his MWL debut.
White was promoted over the weekend to the West Michigan Whitecaps from Oneonta of the New York-Pennsylvania League where he was batting .230. He immediately pushed his average in the MWL 770 points higher-- to 1.000.
Slotted in the 9-slot, both in the batting order and in the field, in right field, White ripped a line drive single to center in his first at-bat, repeated it again in his second trip to the plate, then blasted a double in his third visit to the dish. The Quad Cities Bandits never retired him as he drew a base on balls in his fourth stroll to the plate.
White opened the second game of the double header with a ground single to center to make his debut truly memorable with four straight hits. White finished the evening batting .667 after the opposition pitching managed to retire him on a fly ball and then a strike out.
Quad Cities is an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
