Las Vegas (R) Snaps Amador Streak at 29 Wednesday, September 19th , 2018 For 29 straight games, Nelson Amador tried to ignore his hitting streak. It wasn't easy. Well, the 18-year-old Boston (R) Shamrocks center fielder can forget about it now -- it's over, courtesy of the Las Vegas (R) Aces. The Aces held him hitless in 5 at-bats at PBC Rookie Development Complex and snapped his consecutive-game hitting string at 29. There was at least one good note to the end of the streak, however, as the Shamrocks took the win by the score of 8-5. "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, Amador is batting .350 with 112 hits and 9 home runs. He has scored 58 times and has 34 runs batted in. |
