Philadelphia 1776 Snaps Witt's Streak at 21 Monday, August 20th, 2029 For 21 straight games, Preston Witt tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 25-year-old Vancouver Grey Wolves first baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Philadelphia 1776 BC. The BC held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Wolf Den in Vancouver today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 21. There was at leas one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Grey Wolves took the win by the score of 4-0. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." This year Witt has collected a .323 batting average to date with 104 hits in 322 at-bats, 61 RBIs, 16 home runs and scored 46 times. He has played in 83 games. |
