Giammona Goes Hitless, Streak Stopped at 21
Sunday, May 3rd, 1970
Visalia HS third baseman David Giammona went 0-for-4 today in Visalia HS's 8-3 triumph over the Temecula HS Greyhounds, snapping his 21-game hitting streak.

Giammona spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later."

"I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though."

When Giammona made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending.

"There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Greyhounds manager said of Giammona's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here."

So far this season Giammona has hit .369 with no home runs, 15 RBIs and scored 27 times.
