23-Game Streak Ends, McDevitt Hitless Saturday, May 2nd, 1970 The 23-game hitting streak of Brandon HS Owls second baseman Pat McDevitt came to an end today at Westerners Stadium. The Miami Beach HS Oilmen held him hitless in 3 at-bats and also sent the Owls down to defeat, 8-2. Later, McDevitt acknowledged to BNN reporters that the hit streak meant something to him. "It was special," he said, "but I think other people make a bigger deal out of it than I do, or the players do. It was what we're all supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try to score runs. It was a cool deal, but it's over now. Let's try to start a new one." McDevitt is currently batting .308 with no home runs, 21 RBIs and 30 runs scored. He has 36 hits in 117 at-bats. |
