20-Game Streak Ends, Oakes Hitless
Wednesday, August 14th, 2058
Late in the game, all eyes in Corona Field were on Clement Oakes as he stepped into the batter box. His 20-game hitting streak was on the line, and he had a zero in the hit column on the day. Sadly for Oakes, it was not meant to be -- the zero would stay and the streak would end.

If there was a silver lining for Oakes today, it was that his Glacier Bay Ice Pirates won the game anyway, stopping the Mexico City Diablos by the score of 3-0.

"Winning took some of the disappointment out of it," Oakes told reporters in the clubhouse. "Looking back on it, it was a great experience. Not too many players can say they had a hit in 20 straight games. It's something I will always remember."

To date this season Oakes is hitting .335 with 1 home run.
