WHITE ON FIRE AGAIN
CHRIS WHITE went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a walk Friday night in the Midwest League as his West Michigan Whitecaps nipped the Lansing Lugnuts 4-3.
The perfect day for White capped a three-game span in which the speedy outfielder has amassed six hits in 10 at-bats. In so doing he lifted his batting average to a spectacular .342.
The perfect day also made fans remember July 30 when White debuted with the Whitecaps with a 3-for-3 game in the first half of a doubleheader and ripped another hit in the second game and followed the next day with a home run. That was a 5-for-7 streak.
CHURCH BACK ON THE FIELD
RYAN CHURCH took the field in a baseball game Friday night for the first time since July 5.
He served as the designated hitter in a Gulf Coast rookie league game in Florida and had a run-scoring single in three at-bats with one strike out.
He played five innings. How he feels today will determine whether and how much he plays in today’s GCL game. He almost certainly will serve as the DH. Yesterday the GCL Mets outlasted the GCL Cardinals 11-8.
Speculation in New York is that approximately a week of games in Florida may be enough to prepare Church to return to the major leagues. Church has missed more than six weeks due to post-concussion syndrome after being kicked in the head in Atlanta when he tried to break up a double play.
