Monarchs End Fleming's Streak
The <Kansas Monarchs:team#180> got more than the 5-1 victory at Ballpark of Kansas today -- they also put an end to the 23-game hitting streak of <Missouri Mules:team#176> catcher <Pat Fleming:player#7275> by holding him without a hit in 3 at-bats.

After the game, Fleming seemed more concerned with his team taking the loss than with the demise of his streak.

"I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit," he said. "I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today."

In 74 games this season <Fleming:player#7275> has batted at a .311 pace with 89 hits and 7 home runs.
