Diwan Hits in 20 Consecutive Games Saturday, August 14th, 2021 He did it again! Sudhin Diwan got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 4 hits in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Saitama Seibu Lions were defeated 8-3 at Field of the Chariots by the ORIX Buffaloes. During the recent streak, the 17-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, Diwan 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." Sudhin Diwan doubled in the 1st, walked in a run in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season Diwan is batting at a .419 clip with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs. |
