Kinston Snaps Kusick Streak at 20
Lynchburg center fielder Craig Kusick came into today's game against the Kinston Eagles on a hot streak. He left on a cold one.
The Eagles did their jobs well, beating the Lynchburg Twins, 10-2, and holding Kusick hitless to snap his 20-game hitting streak. The 21-year-old center fielder had a few words to say after finishing 0-for-3, telling reporters only that he "came up short."
"What Craig did was exciting and quite an achievement," said Twins manager <David Yochum:coach#581>. "It's tough enough to get one hit in this league, much less go 20 games in a row. I'm even more proud of the way he handled the press coverage. He never let the frenzy get to him or affect his play."
On the year, Kusick has hit .361 with 3 home runs, 19 RBIs and scored 23 runs.
