20 Games in a Row for Hodge Sunday, June 18th, 2023 And the hits just keep on coming -- especially off the red-hot bat of Truman Hodge. The Clams first baseman got 1 hit in 4 at-bats in today's 4-3 triumph over the Birmingham Barons at Regions Field. Hodge has now hit safely in his last 20 games. Asked by the press, how it feels to go through something like this, he replied, "the longer it goes on, the more the pressure intensifies. The press coverage can get relentless at times. I wish I could just go out and play the game without all this distraction, but I know that's not going to happen. I know I will just have to grin and bear it." Truman Hodge grounded out in the 1st, struck out in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a two-run single in the 8th. For the season Hodge has hit .360 with 21 home runs and 56 RBIs. He has played in 58 games and scored 52 times. |
