Dodgers End Riedl's Streak Saturday, September 13th , 1997 Jordan Riedl came rolling into today's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 26-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Riverfront Stadium. The 36-year-old Cincinnati Reds first baseman went 0-for-3 against the Dodgers as the Reds fell, 3-2. "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." Presently Riedl is batting .348 and has collected 14 home runs, 69 RBIs, .454 OBP and scored 83 runs. |
