Squirrel Monkeys End Patton's Streak Monday, August 17th , 2048 The Syracuse Squirrel Monkeys got more than the 2-0 victory at The Zoo in Syracuse today -- they also put an end to the 20-game hitting streak of Syracuse Starks first baseman Buddy Patton by holding him without a hit in 3 at-bats. After the game, Patton seemed more concerned with his team taking the loss than with the demise of his streak. "I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit," he said. "I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today." Patton is batting .292 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs this season. |
