 | Edwards Hitless, Streak Ends at 23 Saturday, September 3rd , 1887 The 23-game hitting streak of Louisville Colts left fielder Jed Edwards came to an end at Derby Grounds. The Washington Federals held him hitless in 3 at-bats and also sent the Colts down to defeat, 3-0. Later, Edwards acknowledged to BNN reporters that the hit streak meant something to him. "It was special," he said, "but I think other people make a bigger deal out of it than I do, or the players do. It was what we're all supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try to score runs. It was a cool deal, but it's over now. Let's try to start a new one." This year, Edwards has hit at a .317 pace and produced 82 RBIs, 7 home runs and scored 114 runs. |   |
