Black Sox End Thum's Streak Friday, August 23rd , 2047 Dong-po Thum came rolling into today's game against the Chicago Black Sox with a 33-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Utopia Field. The 29-year-old Yellow Springs Nine second baseman went 0-for-3 against the Black Sox as the Nine fell, 4-2. "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." This season Thum is batting .368 with 10 home runs. His totals include 42 RBIs and 73 runs scored. |
