Hot Bat Cooled, Hernández Hitless Against Voyagers Wednesday, February 7th , 2057 For once, it was the Goodyear Tire picking up the slack for Ricardo Hernández. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Goodyear manager Rubén Lozano has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 20-game hitting streak snapped by the Vanguard Voyagers. Hernández was bailed out by the rest of the Tire, however, who stopped the Voyagers, 10-3. The 16-year-old center fielder finished the day 0-for-3, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me." "Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow." Hitting .373 to date, Hernández has 9 home runs and 30 RBIs. He has played in 33 games. |
