Streak Finally Over, Ocampo Held Hitless Saturday, September 4th , 2049 For 29 straight games, Arabello Ocampo tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 17-year-old Ladue Rams second baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Germantown Uruguayans. The Uruguayans held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Ballpark of Wellsville today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 29. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Rams took the win by the score of 6-2. "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." So far on the season Ocampo is hitting .362 with 6 home runs, 49 RBIs and 71 runs scored. He has 145 hits and played in 94 games. |
