SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Washington State freshman starter Brandon White and junior reliever Owen Leonard combined for a one-hit shutout in the 10-0 win over Santa Clara Thursday evening.
White did not allow a hit in 6.1 innings, recorded nine strikeouts and saw just one Santa Clara Bronco reach base after a Cougar fielding error started the sixth. White was dominant in his first career start, needing just 75 pitches to face the minimum to record his first career win. Leonard took over after White retired the first batter he faced in the seventh inning, saw an SCU hitter reach third on a dropped fly ball but recovered to strike out the next two hitters.
