20 Games in a Row for Sánchez Sunday, September 24th, 2023 He did it again! Manny Sánchez got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 1 hit in 2 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His El Paso Diablos were defeated 12-10 at Underdogs Ballpark by the Acapulco Banditos. During the recent streak, the 23-year-old shortstop has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Sánchez 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." Manny Sánchez singled in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd and walked in the 6th. This year Sánchez has hit at a .333 clip with 157 hits, 13 home runs, 73 RBIs and 92 runs scored. |
