van den Boom Put in Cooler, Hitless Against Kentucky
Thursday, July 25th , 2052
It was the best of both worlds for the Kentucky Lions today at Lions Stadium, as they defeated the Maryland Bridegrooms 3-2 and also snapped Karst van den Boom's 20-game hitting streak. The 22-year-old Maryland shortstop failed to get a hit in 3 at-bats.

"Nothing personal against van den Boom, we just wanted to win the game," said Lions skipper . "We did a great job keeping him off-balance and guessing."

When asked by reporters about his streak coming to an end, van den Boom frowned and said, "I won't lie and say that I'm not disappointed about it, but I'd feel much better if we had won."

van den Boom is hitting at a .306 mark this season. His stats show 4 home runs, 25 RBIs and 47 runs scored. He has played 93 games for the Bridegrooms.
