Showell Ups Hit Streak to 20 Consecutive Games
Wednesday, September 5th , 2068
With 1 hit at Werner Park, Nobby Showell added another game to his hitting streak -- the El Paso center fielder has now hit safely for 20 games in a row. But the hitting feat wasn't enough for the Chihuahuas, as they fell, 6-3, to the Omaha Storm Chasers.
"Frankly, I don't care about hits," Omaha manager Tiernan Hayes said later. "I'll let him get 4 hits in 4 at-bats if it means we get a win." Nobby Showell grounded out in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, struck out in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This year, Showell is batting .294 with 13 home runs and 58 RBIs. In 121 games he has scored 51 times.
