Battery End Martí's Streak
Thursday, May 19th, 2044
The 25-game hitting streak of Boston Patriots third baseman Juan Andrés Martí came to an end today at Dunkin Donuts Park. The Charleston Battery held him hitless in 5 at-bats and also sent the Patriots down to defeat, 6-5.
Later, Martí 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."
Martí is hitting .410 this year with 2 home runs and 8 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .471, 8 walks and scored 14 times.
