Hurricanes End Salinas Streak Wednesday, July 18th , 2063 Fernando Salinas came rolling into today's game against the Cape Coral Hurricanes with a 25-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Lang Park. The 22-year-old Dayton Dirty Reds shortstop went 0-for-2 against the Hurricanes as the Dirty Reds fell, 8-4. "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." Salinas is hitting .378 this year with 22 home runs and 58 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .444, 23 walks and scored 55 times. |
