Marin Goes Hitless, Streak Stopped at 21 Thursday, April 14th , 2050 For once, it was the Monterrey HS Rough Riders picking up the slack for Victor Marin. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Monterrey HS manager has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent and saw his 21-game hitting streak snapped by the Tegucigalpa HS Devils. Marin was bailed out by the rest of the Rough Riders, however, who stopped the Devils, 8-5. The 17-year-old third baseman finished the day 0-for-5, 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." On the year, Marin is hitting .329 with 46 hits, 7 home runs, 33 RBIs, .403 OBP and has scored 23 runs. |
