Fresno Stops Spera Hit Streak Wednesday, April 28th , 2055 Steve Spera came rolling into today's game against the Fresno Rattlers with a 36-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Fresno Stadium. The 26-year-old Halifax Rush third baseman went 0-for-5 against the Rattlers as the Rush fell, 9-5. "I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all." This season, Spera has delivered 19 hits in 64 at-bats for a .297 average with 1 home run. He is getting on base at a .318 clip and his totals also include 4 RBIs and 13 runs scored. This year Spera has played in 14 games. |
