Salas Has 20-Game Hitting Streak Monday, July 29th, 2024 He did it again! Salvador Salas got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Santa Monica Bruins were defeated 3-2 at Jackie Robinson Stadium by the Gresham Gold Souls. During the recent streak, the 26-year-old second baseman has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Salas preferred to shower praise on his team. He told reporters in the clubhouse after the loss, "We have a better ballclub than we showed today." "It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "So, we're trying to kind of keep that quiet... don't want to jinx him." Salvador Salas flied out in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 6th and grounded out in the 9th. Thus far this season Salas has hit .359 with 9 home runs, 42 RBIs and scored 32 times. |
