 | Sampson Stretches Hit String to 20 Monday, February 14th, 1972 Casey Sampson, shortstop for the Missouri Tigers, ran his consecutive-game hitting streak to 20 games with 2 hits in his club's 5-1 victory today over the Kansas State Wildcats at Snobs Ballpark today. "I don't really know why it's even happening," he said with a grin after the game. "So asking me how long I can keep it up is kind of irrelevant. It'll end when it ends." Casey Sampson doubled in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Adam Carmon in the 5th and walked in the 7th. This season in 17 games, Sampson has hit at a .432 clip with 32 hits, 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and 17 runs scored. |   |
