Avalanche End Dempsey's Streak
The <Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14> pitching staff did its job today, holding hot-hitting <Jon Dempsey:player#10320> hitless in 3 at-bats during the club's 10-2 victory over the <St. Louis Sportsman:team#10> at Sportsman Park. The disappointing performance ended a 22-game hitting streak for the second baseman.

"I'm a little down right now," Dempsey said after the game. "I couldn't get anything going when the team needed me, and I hated to see the streak end, too."

For the year <Dempsey:player#10320> is batting .402 with 13 home runs.
