 | Wilder Has 20-Game Hitting Streak Tuesday, May 5th, 1970 The Cranston HS Loons may have proven to be mere mortals today as they lost 6-4 to the Mt. Vernon HS Foxes, but Mike Wilder continued to hit like a god. The shortstop collected 1 hit in 4 at-bats in the loss and extended his hitting streak to 20 games. "Wilder is playing great and is on fire right now," Loons manager said. "Hopefully his play can spark the rest of our team and help us pick up some wins." Wilder was apparently not happy with the game and when pressed by reporters in the locker room only said "nothing else matters but the loss." Mike Wilder singled in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. So far this year, Wilder is batting .401 with 1 home run and 16 RBIs. |   |
