| Boston Stops Rogers Hit Streak Tuesday, August 31st , 1880 Louisville defeated Boston, 5-3, at Derby Grounds, but saw the 22-game hitting streak of Colts center fielder Hick Rogers snapped -- the Resolutes held Rogers hitless in 3 at-bats.
"I enjoyed the streak," he said in a BNN interview after the game. "It's great in one way, but the day-to-day pressure to keep it going can be tough to handle, too. The main thing is we got the win today. That's all that really counts."
This season, Rogers has 3 home runs and a .297 batting average. | | |
