Chance Woods added a solo homer in the fifth to give No. 19 seed Central Crossing a 6-4 win over No. 9 Pickerington North.
White pitched a complete game, giving up no runs from the third through seventh innings.
Kyle Koehler and Brett Madison had two-hit games for Pickerington North, and Adam Sadler tripled and scored.
