White, Leonard Combine For One-Hit Win Santa Clara

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. Leonard worked a perfect eighth and struck out the first batter he faced in the ninth before the next batter pulled a single through the left side for the Broncos first hit. Leonard recorded six strikeouts in 2.2 innings of work.
 
Collin Montez led the way offensively, recording his first career three-hit game with a single, double and triple to along with an RBI. Andres Alvarez added two hits and Kodie Kolden scored twice.
 
In the first inning, Danny Sinatro pulled a single into right field and Andres Alvarez executed a hit-and-run with a single through the right side to push Sinatro over to third. Collin Montez followed with an RBI-single into centerfield for a 1-0 advantage.
 
In the fourth inning, Alvarez led off the inning with a double the other way into the right field corner and later came home on a Kyle Manzardo sacrifice fly. WSU added two more runs on a pair of Santa Clara errors, one run came home after Sinatro drew a bases loaded walk and two more scored on wild pitches for a 7-0 advantage.
 
In the eighth inning, Kodie Kolden singled to right centerfield with out and Dillon Plew followed with an opposite field RBI-double that scored Kolden for an 8-0 lead. WSU added two more runs in the ninth inning, Montez tripled off the wall in right center and later scored on wild pitch and Jared Thurber capped the scoring by coming home on a wild pitch for a 10-0 advantage.
