Streak Finally Over, Carter Held Hitless Monday, July 23rd , 2091 For 29 straight games, Joe Carter tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 23-year-old Tulsa Drillers left fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Arkansas Travelers. The Travelers held him hitless in 5 at-bats at Dickey-Stephens Park today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 29. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Drillers took the win by the score of 5-1. "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." Presently Carter is batting .328 with 98 hits and 11 home runs. He has knocked in 67 runs and scored 53 times. |
