Welsh's Hit Streak Over Wednesday, April 29th, 1970 For once, it was the Kenosha HS Monarchs picking up the slack for Terry Welsh. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Kenosha HS manager has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 23-game hitting streak snapped by the Elgin HS Black Aces. Welsh was bailed out by the rest of the Monarchs, however, who stopped the Black Aces, 8-5. The 15-year-old center fielder finished the day 0-for-4, 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." This year Welsh has 7 home runs and a .416 batting average. |
