Thierry Hitless; Streak Ends At 32

Kiev Comets shortstop Michaël Thierry went more than a month without a hitless game, but that streak came to an end on Wednesday. He flew out in his first three at-bats before working the count full in his final time up.

"It was probably ball four, I should have taken it," he admitted. "But I figured, why not, I'll try to shoot it between first and second base." Instead it was a slow roller, easily handled by the defender to retire Thierry. The Comets won the game, their 14th win in 18 games during the month of June. They retain the Alliance's best record.

New York Empire right fielder Gene Juday, meanwhile, continued his streak yesterday. He's now hit successfully in 30 straight games.

UPDATE: Gene Juday's streak has come to an end today at 30 games.
