MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—White a made comeback in the fourth inning, to force the 3-3 tie against Blue in Game 3 of the Blue-White World Series at Reese Smith Field Monday afternoon.
For the third straight game, Blue struck first, putting up a three spot in the top of the first inning. Riley Delgado started the two-out rally with a single scorched up the middle. Sophomore Blake Benefield followed with a single of his own to score Delgado on the next play. Phillip Kunsa kept the scoring going with an RBI-single of his own, part of his 2-for-3 day. Freshman Grant Williams put the Blue team up 3-0, with a hard hit RBI-single to the shortstop.
White answered in the bottom half of the frame, with a Ryan Kemp RBI-single to center field, part of a 2-for-4 effort on the day, bringing around Drew Huff to cut the lead to 3-1. White struck again in the fourth, with freshman Aaron Antonini smacking a two-RBI single to right field.
