23-Game Streak Ends, Zapata Hitless Saturday, July 19th , 2059 The Texas (AZL) Rangers got more than the 6-3 victory at Surprise Stadium -- they also put an end to the 23-game hitting streak of Chicago N (AZL) Cubs first baseman Edwin Zapata by holding him without a hit in 5 at-bats. After the game, Zapata seemed more concerned with his team taking the loss than with the demise of his streak. "I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit," he said. "I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today." This season, Zapata is swinging the bat at a .352 pace. He has hit 2 home runs and scored 18 times, while driving in 18. His on-base percentage is .417 and he has played in 32 games. |
