Tigers Stop Plumb at 25 Sunday, April 27th, 2042 For 25 straight games, Ben Plumb tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 15-year-old Colorado Springs HS 76ers left fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Coweta HS Tigers. The Tigers held him hitless in 4 at-bats at Typhoons Ballpark today and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 25. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the 76ers took the win by the score of 11-4. "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 year Plumb is hitting .418, produced 20 RBIs and 4 home runs, scored 24 times and gotten on base at a .458 rate. |
