Hitting Streak Still Alive for Engel Thursday, May 14th, 1970 With 1 hit at Las Vegas HS Grounds today, Joe Engel added another game to his hitting streak -- the Conway HS center fielder has now hit safely for 25 games in a row. But the hitting feat wasn't enough for the Rattlers today, as they fell, 10-5, to the North Miami HS Mad Ants. "Frankly, I don't care about hits," North Miami HS manager said later. "I'll let him get 5 hits in 5 at-bats if it means we get a win." Joe Engel doubled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, struck out in the 6th, struck out in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th. Engel is hitting .347 for the season with 2 home runs, 33 RBIs and 36 runs scored. He has 58 hits in 167 at-bats and played in 38 games. |
