Pickering Put in Cooler, Hitless Against Mexico City Saturday, September 29th , 2007 For 20 straight games, Haywood Pickering tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 34-year-old Las Vegas Rollers left fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Mexico City Aztecas. The Aztecas held him hitless in 5 at-bats at Estadio Azteca and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 20. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Rollers took the win by the score of 10-6. "I tried to ignore it for weeks, but you guys in the media wouldn't let me," he joked with reporters after the game. "I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet now." This season, Pickering is batting .287 with 10 home runs. His totals include 38 RBIs and 56 runs scored. |
