Hawkeyes Halt Badger Hit Streak Friday, May 1st , 2054 Parker Badger came rolling into today's game against the Iowa Hawkeyes with a 24-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Duane Banks Field. The 19-year-old Miami Hurricanes center fielder went 0-for-3 against the Hawkeyes as the Hurricanes fell, 6-4. "I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all." On the season, Badger is batting .400 with 9 home runs and 33 RBIs. He has played in 31 games. |
