He picked up 1 more today and has now stretched his hitting streak to 20 games. The Nuevo Mexico Mariachis second baseman went 1-for-5, but it wasn't enough to win the game. His club was defeated, 9-7, by the Philadelphia Liberty Academy at Liberty Academy Field. "It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "We just don't want to jinx him."
