Fireballs Halt Morales's Hit Streak Friday, August 26th, 2033 For 20 straight games, Iván Morales tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 23-year-old Reno Raiders center fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Joplin Fireballs. The Fireballs held him hitless in 3 at-bats at The Firepit today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 20. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Raiders took the win by the score of 7-2. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." This year Morales has hit 9 home runs and posted a .307 batting average. |
