Richfield Halts Willis's Hitting Steak Monday, May 6th , 2052 Alan Willis came rolling into today's game against the Richfield Outlaws with a 20-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Jefferson Park. The 23-year-old Jefferson J-Hawks right fielder went 0-for-1 against the Outlaws as the J-Hawks fell, 4-0. "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." This season, Willis has delivered 32 hits in 75 at-bats for a .427 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .500 clip and his totals also include 15 RBIs and 24 runs scored. This year Willis has played in 19 games. |
