Walleye End Hümmel's Streak Saturday, July 2nd , 2050 The 21-game hitting streak of Grim Reapers center fielder Hanskarl Hümmel came to an end today at The Coffin. The Walla Walla Walleye held him hitless in 4 at-bats and also sent the Reapers down to defeat, 5-3. Later, Hümmel acknowledged to BNN reporters that the hit streak meant something to him. "It was special," he said, "but I think other people make a bigger deal out of it than I do, or the players do. It was what we're all supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try to score runs. It was a cool deal, but it's over now. Let's try to start a new one." Hümmel is hitting .303 this year with 4 home runs and 20 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .338, 8 walks and scored 21 times. |
