Valiants Snap Noriega Streak at 23 Sunday, April 14th , 2052 Bill Noriega came rolling into today's game against the Zagreb HS Valiants with a 23-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Engineers Stadium. The 16-year-old Minsk HS Engineers left fielder went 0-for-4 against the Valiants as the Engineers fell, 4-1. "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." Hitting .396 to date, Noriega has 6 home runs and 24 RBIs. He has played in 36 games. |
