Mavericks End Thomas's Streak Saturday, July 30th , 2005 Emmanuel Thomas came rolling into today's game against the El Paso Mavericks with a 20-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Central Park. The 24-year-old Manhattan Liberty catcher went 0-for-4 against the Mavericks as the Liberty fell, 5-2. "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." Thomas is hitting .271 for the season with 9 home runs, 33 RBIs and 36 runs scored. He has 46 hits in 170 at-bats and played in 43 games. |
