Pettit Impresses In Initial Start For New Orleans
April 3 New Orleans. Paul Pettit, Pittsburgh’s 100000 bonus rookie, impressed in his baseball start with New Orleans. The 18 year old inherited a tough no hitter bid in his third exhibition outing as Bob Purkey pitched four innings for Nashville before Pettit preserved the no run game. New Orleans won 1 to 0 as Pettit shows promise but may not yet be a regular starter for the club or for Pittsburgh next year.
