Marshalls Halt Etheridge Hit Streak Sunday, August 15th , 2055 For 23 straight games, Garrett Etheridge tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 20-year-old New England Whalers right fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Olympia Marshalls. The Marshalls held him hitless in 4 at-bats at The Corral and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 23. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Whalers took the win by the score of 9-4. "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." This season in 47 games, Etheridge is batting .281 with 11 home runs, 36 RBIs and has scored 42 times. |
