20 Games in a Row for Nelson
Tuesday, May 13th, 2025
And the hits just keep on coming -- especially off the red-hot bat of Bill Nelson. The Black Knights left fielder got 4 hits in 5 at-bats in today's 8-6 triumph over the Maple Marauders at Blue Ivy Stadium. Nelson has now hit safely in his last 20 games.
Asked by the press, how it feels to go through something like this, he replied, "the longer it goes on, the more the pressure intensifies. The press coverage can get relentless at times. I wish I could just go out and play the game without all this distraction, but I know that's not going to happen. I know I will just have to grin and bear it." Bill Nelson singled in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th and singled in the 8th.
Nelson on the season is batting .431 with 4 home runs. His totals include 13 RBIs and 21 runs scored. He has played in 33 games.
