Pilots End McCormick's Streak Wednesday, August 15th , 1962 Marty McCormick came rolling into today's game against the Clinton Pilots with a 22-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Clinton IA minor league park. The 20-year-old Davenport Quads center fielder went 0-for-5 against the Pilots as the Quads fell, 6-4. "I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all." For the year McCormick is batting .384 with 68 hits and 4 home runs. He has scored 37 times and driven in 20. |
