Calgary Snaps Alexander's Streak at 23 Thursday, May 26th, 2033 For 23 straight games, Keith Alexander tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 33-year-old Bloomington Longnecks shortstop can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Calgary Lynx. The Lynx held him hitless in 1 at-bat at Lookouts Ballpark today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 23. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Longnecks took the win by the score of 5-4. "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." Alexander is hitting .364 so far this season with 0 RBIs and 3 runs scored. He has 4 hits including no home runs, 2 walks and .462 OBP. |
