Toledo Snaps Payling's Streak at 28 Tuesday, August 16th, 2033 For 28 straight games, Chris Payling tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 24-year-old Portland Evergreens center fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Toledo Stingers. The Stingers held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Evergreen Park today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 28. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Evergreens took the win by the score of 4-2. "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." Payling is hitting .352 this year with 8 home runs and 45 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .386, 15 walks and scored 49 times. |
