The 2 drives gave him 14 triples n the season, tying the record he set last year playing for Providence. He still has 33 games to left to better the mark.

On July 31, Miller Bullock held Brooklyn to 3 hits in a 7 to 0 Louisville win. Bullock also had a double and a single at bat. It is Louisville's 7th win in a row and Bullock's 12th in a row. That is the longest winning streak by a pitcher ever in the Liberty League. Coming into this season, the 31-year-old Bullock had not had a winning record at any level of ball in his career. He is now 22-7.
