Ithaca Halts Clerq's Hitting Steak Monday, September 5th , 2061 Olympia right fielder Gisbert Clerq went 0-for-4 in Olympia's 5-4 triumph over the Ithaca Fighting Imps, snapping his 20-game hitting streak. Clerq spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later." "I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though." When Clerq made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending. "There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Fighting Imps manager Jeffrey Lewis said of Clerq's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here." So far this year in 86 games, Clerq is hitting .342 with 23 home runs, 64 RBIs and 54 runs scored. |
