Valdés Goes Hitless, Streak Stopped at 22
Tuesday, July 18th , 2062
The Hollywood Shredders got more than the 4-1 victory at The Hollywood Bowl -- they also put an end to the 22-game hitting streak of New Orleans Voodoo third baseman Jorge Valdés by holding him without a hit in 4 at-bats.
After the game, Valdés seemed more concerned with his team taking the loss than with the demise of his streak.
"I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit," he said. "I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today."
This year, Valdés has hit at a .302 pace and produced 35 RBIs, 7 home runs and scored 44 runs.
