Sanderson Hitless, Stopped by Tourists Monday, August 21st , 1972 Madawaska third baseman Bob Sanderson went 0-for-5 today in Madawaska's 4-3 triumph over the Asheville Tourists, snapping his 21-game hitting streak. Sanderson spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later." "I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though." When Sanderson made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending. "There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Tourists manager Daniel Alves said of Sanderson's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here." Sanderson is presently hitting at a .356 pace with 3 home runs and 36 RBIs. He has played in 99 games and scored 53 times. |
