28-Game Streak Ends, Alvarez Hitless Sunday, June 1st , 2053 For 28 straight games, Humberto Alvarez tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 22-year-old Euharlee Hammerheads center fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Sapporo Sea Eagles. The Sea Eagles held him hitless in 6 at-bats at Sea Eagles Ballpark and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 28. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Hammerheads took the win by the score of 9-6. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." In his 2053 season totals, Alvarez has no home runs, .328 BA, .369 OBP, 15 RBIs and 22 runs scored. |
