Watertown Stops González's Hit Streak Tuesday, August 11th, 2026 Maybe it really is taboo to talk about a hitting streak before it's over. Hours after speaking to the press about his 22-game hitting streak, Washington DC left fielder Javier González went hitless in 3 at-bats today in the Hot Sauce 2-1 win over Watertown at Marshall Field at Carter Stadium. In a postgame interview, he said, "Nope, not superstitious. Streaks don't last forever. Nobody jinxed me. I've heard about it every day for weeks now. My roomie told me to get a hit before every game and wished me luck. I just ran out of hits." His manager said, "It's not like we could go 22 games without talking to him." This year González is hitting at a .465 pace with 5 home runs and 24 RBIs. He has played in 23 games and scored 24 times. |
