| Breaking News |  | Friday, July 3rd, 2009: Flores Hit String Snapped at 28
For 28 straight games, Manny Flores tried to ignore his hitting streak. "But you guys in the media wouldn't let me." The 23-year-old Cheyenne shortstop can forget about it now -- it's over! -- courtesy of the Rapid City Rushmores. They held him hitless in 5 at-bats and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 28. The streak ended on one good note, however, Cheyenne won the game, beating the Rushmores 4-3.
But Flores acknowledged that it meant something to him. "It was special," he said, "but I think other people make a bigger deal out of it than I do, or the players do. But that's what you're supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try and score runs. It was a cool deal. It's over now. Let's try to start it all over again."
For 2009 Flores is batting .364 with 3 home runs, 41 RBIs and 35 runs scored. |
