It's Over: Mustangs Stop Harris
Saturday, June 2nd, 2018
For 21 straight games, Jeff Harris tried to ignore his hitting streak. "But you guys in the media wouldn't let me." The 27-year-old San Francisco right fielder can forget about it now -- it's over! -- courtesy of the Mile High Mustangs. They held him hitless in 3 at-bats and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 21. The streak ended on one good note, however, San Francisco won the game, beating the Mustangs 8-6.
But Harris acknowledged that it 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. But that's what you're supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try and score runs. It was a cool deal. It's over now. Let's try to start it all over again."
This season Harris is batting .351 with 29 RBIs, 29 runs scored and 4 home runs.
