Engineers Halt Puente Hit Streak Friday, April 4th , 2042 The streak has been snapped. Mario Puente failed to get a hit in today's game against the Delft Engineers, bringing his 29-game hitting spree to an end. The 21-year-old Instituto Politecnico Nacional second baseman was 0-for-4, but the Mules got the win and defeated the Engineers, 8-1. "I'm not disappointed at all -- I had a great run," Puente said. "I got to 29 games. I got my name into an elite group with a bunch of good ballplayers. What's there to complain about?" In 28 games this season, Puente is batting .391 with 43 hits and 6 home runs. He has scored 13 runs and driven in 14. |
