The Gulf Coast League Red Sox, the team’s rookie ball affiliate, had its first game Monday against the Gulf Coast Rays. Schneider made his debut as the team’s closer as he always has been with the Owls.
He pitched one inning, striking out three batters to earn his first save in rookie ball, only allowing one hit in the process, to secure the win for the Red Sox, 5-4.
