Streak Finally Over, Canada Held Hitless: The hitting streak that Charlotte third baseman Nehemiah Canada had kept going for 25 games was ended today by the Alabama Crimson Tide. Canada was stymied over 4 at-bats today, but the rest of his team picked him up, taking the 2-1 victory at Hayes Stadium.
"Hitting streaks come and go," Canada said. "It did put a little pressure on me. It's hard to be natural at the plate with something like that always in the back of your mind. If it had to end, I'm glad it was in a win."
Thus far this year Canada is hitting .335 with 33 home runs, 100 RBIs and 80 runs scored.
