| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, August 8th, 2028: Smith Hitless, Streak Ends at 20
The Lakeland Flying Tigers won the game 4-0 over the Columbus Catfish. At the same time the Catfish mound corps did what no other team could do. They stopped the 20-game hitting streak of Flying Tigers shortstop Mike Smith. But that was still not enough to win the game.
"Our pitchers may have focused a bit too much on stopping Smith," the Columbus manager commented afterward. "He had a nice hitting streak going, but the Flying Tigers have other hitters and they did their job today."
This season Smith is hitting .350 with no home runs. |
