26-Game Streak Ends, Yamada Hitless
Tuesday, September 14th, 2021
Maybe it really is taboo to talk about a hitting streak before it's over. Hours after speaking to the press about his 26-game hitting streak, Acapulco center fielder Tetsu Yamada went hitless in 3 at-bats today in the Banditos 8-6 win over Albuquerque at Underdogs Ballpark.
In a postgame interview, he said, "Nope, not superstitious. Streaks don't last forever. Nobody jinxed me. I've heard about it every day for weeks now. My roomie told me to get a hit before every game and wished me luck. I just ran out of hits."
His manager said, "It's not like we could go 26 games without talking to him."
Currently Yamada has 2 home runs and a .362 batting average.
