Streak Finally Over, Monje Held Hitless Monday, September 6th , 2049 For 20 straight games, Edgardo Monje tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 25-year-old Pine Island Dolphins left fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Bethesda Atoms. The Atoms held him hitless in 3 at-bats at Goodyear Hanger Dome 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 Dolphins took the win by the score of 5-1. "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." Monje is swinging at a .284 pace on the year with 1 home run, 30 RBIs and 52 runs scored. He has played in 95 games. |
