Rocketeers Halt Sato's Hit Streak Thursday, September 5th, 2041 For once, it was the Vancouver Grey Wolves picking up the slack for Yoritomo Sato. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Vancouver manager David Krause has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 23-game hitting streak snapped by the Seattle Rocketeers. Sato was bailed out by the rest of the Grey Wolves, however, who stopped the Rocketeers, 8-6. The 27-year-old third baseman finished the day 0-for-3, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me." "Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow." This year Sato has collected a .320 batting average to date with 118 hits in 369 at-bats, 46 RBIs, 6 home runs and scored 42 times. He has played in 94 games. |
