Augusta Halts Shaw's Hitting Steak Friday, August 6th , 2032 For 20 straight games, Mark Shaw tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 21-year-old Deadwood Prospectors catcher can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Augusta Minutemen. The Minutemen held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Biscuits Park today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 20. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Prospectors took the win by the score of 4-1. "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." So far in 2032 Shaw is batting .284 with 2 home runs, 33 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has 87 hits in 306 at-bats and a .352 OBP. |
