Shockers End Velazquez's Streak Wednesday, December 15th , 2049 Francisco Velazquez came rolling into today's game against the Wichita State University Shockers with a 24-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Eck Stadium. The 19-year-old Pennsylvania State University Nittany Lions second baseman went 0-for-1 against the Shockers as the Nittany Lions fell, 5-4. "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." Posting a .305 batting average to date, Velazquez has 20 home runs and 62 RBIs. |
