 | Green Hit String Snapped at 23 Tuesday, April 8th , 2042 For 23 straight games, Tony Green tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 19-year-old New York College Night Riders third baseman can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Indianapolis College Pump Jacks. The Pump Jacks held him hitless in 5 at-bats at Pump Jacks Stadium and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 23. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Night Riders took the win by the score of 11-9. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." In his season totals Green has 20 home runs and a .355 batting average. |   |
