Sky Sox pitcher, longtime friend in opposite dugouts for first time

Posted Jun 5, 2015
When Alex White, now a starter for the Fresno Grizzlies, takes the mound against the Sky Sox Friday night, Rob Wooten will be watching from the home team's bullpen. Despite growing up just 50 minutes apart, the North Carolina natives' high school teams never met, and though both have spent their fair share of time at the professional level, the former Tar Heels have never faced each other.
