The White squad posted a 7-2 win in the finale of the University of Texas Fall World Series at The Dell Diamond on Friday and won the series 2-0-1.
The Orange struck first when Russell Moldenhauer launched a solo home run over the leftfield wall in the bottom of the first inning.
The White responded with two runs in the top of the third inning when Kyle Russell hit a triple down the first base line bringing in Tant Shepherd and Russell scored on single by Cameron Rupp for the 2-1 lead.
Connor Rowe knotted the bottom of the third with triple to leftfield, plating Brandon Belt who reached on a walk.
Russell hit his second triple of the game in the top of the fourth bringing in Ben Kaplan, Pat McCrory and Jordan Danks to stake the White to a 5-2 lead.
In the top of the fifth inning, the White added two insurance runs when McCrory hit a two-out, two-run to inflate the cushion to 7-2.
McCrory lead all hitters going 3-for-5 with two singles, one home run and 2 RBI.
Cole Green earned the win for the White allowing two runs in four innings and Garrett Clyde pitched three innings of scoreless relief to earn the save.
