Kirkpatrick Runs Hit String to 20 Straight Games
Monday, October 6th , 2064
With 1 hit at Civics Field, T.J. Kirkpatrick added another game to his hitting streak -- the Memphis first baseman has now hit safely for 20 games in a row. But the hitting feat wasn't enough for the Blues, as they fell, 6-5, to the Ottawa Civics.
"Frankly, I don't care about hits," Ottawa manager Eduardo Rosário said later. "I'll let him get 3 hits in 3 at-bats if it means we get a win." T.J. Kirkpatrick struck out in the 2nd, walked in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This season, Kirkpatrick is batting .439 with 3 home runs. He has scored 19 runs and driven in 21.
