 | Avila Stretches Hit String to 20 Friday, July 15th , 2044 With 1 hit at Tsunami Grounds, Nick Avila added another game to his hitting streak -- the Providence third baseman has now hit safely for 20 games in a row. But the hitting feat wasn't enough for the Dukes, as they fell, 4-3, to the Moose Jaw Gryphons. "Frankly, I don't care about hits," Moose Jaw manager said later. "I'll let him get 4 hits in 4 at-bats if it means we get a win." Nick Avila struck out in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 7th and flied out in the 8th. This season in 74 games, Avila has hit at a .311 clip with 88 hits, 14 home runs, 46 RBIs and 43 runs scored. |   |
