Streak Finally Over, Mittler Held Hitless
The <New Orleans HS Locomotives:team#142> did something to <Drew Mittler:player#9261> no team had done for the last 22 games -- they stopped him, ending his consecutive-game hitting streak. Unfortunately, they couldn't do the same to the Dukes, who came away with the 5-3 victory at Locomotives Stadium.

"Hey, I knew it wasn't going to last forever," the 16-year-old center fielder said of the demise of his streak. "It was a good ride while it lasted."

Thus far this season Mittler is hitting .273 with no home runs, 2 RBIs and 5 runs scored. He has 6 hits in 22 at-bats and has played in 5 games.
