Pettit Belts 5 Hits
Joe Pettit put on a hitting clinic as the Boston Whistlers dumped the Chicago Gangsters, 11-3, at The Hideout.

The Boston third baseman made Chicago defenders earn their pay, lashing Chicago pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Pettit said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Joe Pettit hit a three-run home run off Jesus Fernandez in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

In the current season, Pettit has put up a .387 batting average with 12 hits, 2 home runs, 6 runs batted in and scored 4 runs.
