Gardeners Snap Fenwick's Streak at 20 Saturday, April 25th, 1970 Cicero HS shortstop Chris Fenwick came into today's game against the Royal Oak HS Gardeners on a hot streak. He left on a cold one. The Gardeners did their jobs well, beating the Cicero HS Shamrocks 11-2 and holding Fenwick hitless to snap his 20-game hitting streak. The 18-year-old shortstop had a few words to say after finishing 0-for-4, telling reporters only that he "came up short." "What Chris did was exciting and quite an achievement," said Shamrocks manager . "It's tough enough to get one hit in this league, much less go 20 games in a row. I'm even more proud of the way he handled the press coverage. He never let the frenzy get to him or affect his play." For the year Fenwick has hit .352 with 1 home run, 13 RBIs and scored 27 runs. |
