Cougars End Velazquez's Streak Wednesday, December 23rd , 2048 Francisco Velazquez came rolling into today's game against the Washington State University Cougars with a 21-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Bailey-Brayton Field. The 18-year-old Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions second baseman went 0-for-2 against the Cougars as the Nittany Lions fell, 12-4. "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." Velazquez is batting .360 this season in 98 games with 23 home runs, 90 RBIs and 105 runs scored. He has 151 hits in 419 at-bats. |
