Memphis Snaps Hilfiker's Streak at 20 Monday, July 3rd, 2034 For 20 straight games, Lauren Hilfiker tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 20-year-old Ogallala Octopi first baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Memphis Music. The Music held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Nebraska Aquarium today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 20. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Octopi took the win by the score of 7-2. "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." In 49 games Hilfiker is hitting .356 this season with 74 hits, 4 home runs, 34 RBIs, 18 walks, .408 OBP and has scored 29 runs. |
