Streak Finally Over, Gustafson Held Hitless
Maybe it really is taboo to talk about a hitting streak before it's over. Hours after speaking to the press about his 22-game hitting streak, <Colorado:team#2> shortstop <Rusty Gustafson:player#2598> went hitless in 5 at-bats today at Twin Stadium.

The sudden hitting drought came as the Bears took the 3-0 win over the <New York Twin Towers:team#78>.

"Nope, it's not magic," Gustafson said in his postgame press conference. "Nobody jinxed me. Streaks don't last forever. I've heard about it every day for weeks now. My roomie told me to get a hit before every game and wished me luck. I just ran out of hits."

Presently <Gustafson:player#2598> is batting .403 with 62 hits and no home runs. He has knocked in 13 runs and scored 20 times.
