Brewers End Salamanca's Streak Tuesday, October 1st , 2047 Nelson Salamanca came rolling into today's game against the Helena Brewers with a 20-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Kindrick Legion Field. The 19-year-old Johnson City Cardinals first baseman went 0-for-3 against the Brewers as the Cardinals fell, 1-0. "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." This year Salamanca is batting .261 with 18 home runs and 52 RBIs. |
