Robinson Finally Fails, Streak Ends at 23 Thursday, March 8th, 2018 For 23 straight games, Joe Robinson tried to ignore his hitting streak. "But you guys in the media wouldn't let me." The 21-year-old North Carolina shortstop can forget about it now -- it's over! -- courtesy of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They held him hitless in 3 at-bats and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 23. The streak ended on one good note, however, North Carolina won the game, beating the Cowboys 6-3. But Robinson 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." |
