 | Peanuts Halt Philpott Hit Streak Saturday, September 24th , 1887 The Allentown Peanuts pitching staff did its job, holding hot-hitting Joe Philpott hitless in 4 at-bats during the club's 2-0 victory over the Buffalo Bluebirds at Fairground Grounds. The disappointing performance ended a 20-game hitting streak for the second baseman. "I'm a little down right now," Philpott said after the game. "I couldn't get anything going when the team needed me, and I hated to see the streak end, too." In 95 games this season, Philpott has compiled a .306 batting average with 121 hits and 4 home runs. He has also scored 54 times and knocked in 41 runs. |   |
