Not sure why it doesn't mention it but he has now broken the NCAA record for a hit streak. The old record was 34 games.
Hit Streak Now at 36 for Staub:
The Old Dominion Monarchs may have proven to be mere mortals today as they lost 7-5 to the Kansas Jayhawks, but Rusty Staub continued to hit like a god.
The first baseman collected 2 hits in 3 at-bats in the loss and extended his hitting streak to 36 games.
"Staub is playing great and is on fire right now," Monarchs manager Aaron Havens said. "Hopefully his play can spark the rest of our team and help us pick up some wins."
Staub was apparently not happy with the game and when pressed by reporters in the locker room only said "nothing else matters but the loss."
Rusty Staub flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
Staub's current batting average stands at .382 and he has chalked up 13 home runs and 57 RBIs.
