From Terre Haute to the major leagues

Petricka bounces up and down White Sox organization

Dennis Clark The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — Jake Petricka had a whirlwind week, going from Winston-Salem to Birmingham, then back to Winston-Salem — all in the span of just over 24 hours.

After making five starts at Winston-Salem (Class A-advanced), the former Indiana State pitcher was promoted to Birmingham (AA) on Monday.

That night, Petricka was the starting pitcher for the Barons. He picked up the loss, dropping a 4-2 decision vs. Tennessee. His line included five innings, allowing three runs (earned), three hits, with seven walks, six strikeouts.

On Tuesday, he was returned to Winston-Salem, saying on his Twitter account (@jacobpetricka): “At the airport again, time to rejoin the @WSDashBaseball in Frederick”
