Mockingbirds End Martínez's Streak Saturday, August 2nd, 2036 Alfredo Martínez came rolling into today's game against the Mississippi Mockingbirds with a 20-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Magnolia Park. The 31-year-old Toledo Stingers right fielder went 0-for-4 against the Mockingbirds as the Stingers fell, 7-0. "I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all." For the season, Martínez is hitting at a .279 clip with 11 home runs, 23 RBIs and has scored 27 runs. He has 51 hits, 9 walks and a .333 on-base percentage. |
