Turtles End Álvarez's Streak
Monday, August 7th , 2051
Ernesto Álvarez came rolling into today's game against the San Antonio Turtles with a 23-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Turtles Field.
The 22-year-old Idaho Falls Rapids center fielder went 0-for-4 against the Turtles as the Rapids fell, 5-0.
"I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all."
To date Álvarez has chalked up a .347 average with 4 home runs, driven in 50 runs and scored 56 times.
