Walnut Growers Chill Crowell's Hot Streak Sunday, August 7th , 2078 Larry Crowell came rolling into today's game against the Santa Ana Walnut Growers with a 28-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Hadlock Field. The 23-year-old Portland Sea Dogs shortstop went 0-for-5 against the Walnut Growers as the Sea Dogs fell, 6-5. "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." So far this season Crowell is batting .265 with 8 home runs, 51 RBIs and 46 runs scored. He has 102 hits in 385 at-bats, 29 walks and a .343 OBP. Crowell has played in 103 games. |
