MILLER’S RECORD HITTING STREAK ENDS!

NEW YORK CITY, May 15 (1858) – Union B.B.C. of Morrisania slapped Hilltop B.B.C. of Yonkers around at Nodine Hill park this afternoon, winning 14-3 behind sixteen hits from their batsmen.

None of the sixteen hits came from third baseman Harold Miller, which was a huge surprise as it put an end to his record hitting streak of 37 games that had gone back to last season. Miller was the only Union player without a hit but he did score a run, and after the game didn’t seem fussed that he went hitless since his team won by more than ten. He came into the game so hot with the bat that today’s 0/6 lowered his average to .381 through nine games, and he’s driven in eight runs as well.

The Morrisania team is off to an excellent start, having won six of their first nine games to go to the top of the New York City Championship.
