WINTERVILLE�A day after the Cleveland Indians called the name of Lonnie Chisenhall, the Chicago Cubs made Pitt Community College freshman pitcher Pete Levitt a second-day draft selection. Levitt, a Virginia native, started five games for the Bulldogs in 2008 and posted a 2-0 record. In all, he made 12 mound appearances as a freshman and recorded a 5.57 earned run average in 32 1/3 innings. A 6-foot-4-inch, hard-throwing right-hander, Levitt struck out 40 batters and limited opposing teams to a .208 batting average this season. The Cubs selected Levitt in the 50th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft on June 6. He was the 1,494th overall pick.
