Riley Sizzles with 32-Game Batting Streak Wednesday, July 8th, 2020 He did it again! Michael Riley got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 32. He collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Port Royal Disaster were defeated 6-5 at Ballpark of Port Royal by the Calgary Lynx. During the recent streak, the 26-year-old right fielder has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Riley 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." Michael Riley hit a two-run home run off Nick Taylor in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th and struck out in the 8th. Riley is hitting .340 this year with 6 home runs, 30 RBIs and 24 runs scored. He has 51 hits in 150 at-bats, 18 walks and a .411 on-base percentage. Riley has played in 36 games. |
