| Hickories Stop Cayden at 21 Tuesday, September 6th , 1887 The Nashville Hickories got more than the 1-0 victory at Cumberland Grounds -- they also put an end to the 21-game hitting streak of Birmingham Vulcans center fielder J.P. Cayden by holding him without a hit in 4 at-bats.
After the game, Cayden seemed more concerned with his team taking the loss than with the demise of his streak.
"I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit," he said. "I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today."
This year, Cayden has batted at a .291 pace with 116 hits, 1 home run, 39 RBIs and scored 59 times. | | |
