Ríos Finally Fails, Streak Ends at 20 Wednesday, July 16th , 1913 Syracuse first baseman Héctor Ríos went 0-for-3 in Syracuse's 10-2 triumph over the Rochester Lilac Stockings, snapping his 20-game hitting streak. Ríos spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later." "I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though." When Ríos made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending. "There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Lilac Stockings manager Mox McQuery said of Ríos's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here." On the season, Ríos is batting .408 with 11 home runs and 57 RBIs. He has played in 81 games. |
