Consecutive-Game Hit Streak Continues for Silva Sunday, May 23rd, 2021 He did it again! César Silva got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 1 hit in 1 at-bat, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His San Francisco Earthquakes were defeated 7-6 at The Royal Court at Jersey Yards by the Jersey Jesters. During the recent streak, the 25-year-old first baseman has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Silva preferred to shower praise on his team. He told reporters in the clubhouse after the loss, "We have a better ballclub than we showed today." "It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "So, we're trying to kind of keep that quiet... don't want to jinx him." César Silva singled in the 9th. This season Silva is batting .300 with 36 hits and 4 home runs. He has scored 17 times and has 19 RBI. |
