Nishiyama Goes Hitless, Streak Stopped at 20
Friday, July 15th, 2061
Takafumi Nishiyama saw his 20-game hitting streak wither and die today during the Pine Bluff Man Trolls win over Ft Levenworth at Madison Heights Fields. The 26-year-old center fielder was held hitless in 4 at-bats by the Ft Levenworth Rock Crushers, but his teammates produced enough offense to take the game, 5-1.
"Am I disappointed about the hit streak? Maybe, just a little bit," a seemingly upbeat Nishiyama told reporters in the clubhouse. "But really, how could you be unhappy after you hit in 20 straight games? I'm just glad it lasted as long as it did. Life is good."
This season Nishiyama is hitting .336 with 3 home runs.
