20-Game Streak Ends, Leslie Hitless
For once, it was the <Punta Gorda Bulldogs:team#70> picking up the slack for <Kevin Leslie:player#4896>.

The club's "offensive catalyst," as Punta Gorda manager   has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 20-game hitting streak snapped by the <Miami Beach Expos:team#106>. Leslie was bailed out by the rest of the Bulldogs, however, who stopped the Expos, 2-0.

The 21-year-old second baseman finished the day 0-for-3, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me."

"Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow."

This year <Leslie:player#4896> is hitting .379 with 5 home runs and 44 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .484 clip and scored 66 runs.
