Holmes Boosts Hit Streak to 20 Games Saturday, May 8th, 2021 He did it again! Nick Holmes got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Portland Beavers were defeated 5-4 at Progress Energy Field by the Carolina Crush. During the recent streak, the 27-year-old right fielder has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Holmes 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." Nick Holmes grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th and singled in the 9th. In his season totals, Holmes has 8 home runs, .437 BA, .521 OBP, 28 RBIs and 26 runs scored. He has played in 30 games. |
