20 Games in a Row for Appeldoorn Saturday, August 11th, 2018 He did it again! Timmy Appeldoorn 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 Seattle Terns were defeated 6-5 at Field of the Grasshoppers by the San Bernardino Grasshoppers. During the recent streak, the 19-year-old catcher has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Appeldoorn 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." Timmy Appeldoorn grounded out in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, hit an RBI triple in the 6th and struck out in the 7th. This year Appeldoorn is hitting .314 with 66 hits, 9 home runs, 35 RBIs and has scored 27 runs. |
