Gary SouthShore Railcats News Release
The Gary SouthShore RailCats (Northern League) have sent left-handed pitcher Eric White to the Sioux Falls Canaries to complete an earlier trade, the club announced today.
White, 26, went 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 11 relief appearances this season for the RailCats. The 6-2 lefty, who pitched for Cook County of the Frontier League in 2003, struck out 12 batters, but also allowed four home runs in 13.2 innings this year. White is the player to be named later in the April 13 trade that brought catcher Rich Rodrigues to the RailCats.

Wednesday is Dollar Night, when each of the first 1,000 fans will receive a voucher for a $1 hot dog, courtesy of Armour. All fans can purchase popcorn and soft drinks for only $1 at U. S. Steel Yard concession stands all night long. Wednesday is also Hoosier Lotto Night.
