Canaries End Perkins's Streak
The 26-game hitting streak of <Glendale College Browns:team#116> first baseman <Phil Perkins:player#12338> came to an end today at Browns Ballpark. The <Omaha College Canaries:team#111> held him hitless in 3 at-bats and also sent the Browns down to defeat, 5-1.

Later, Perkins acknowledged to BNN reporters that the hit streak meant something to him.

"It was special," he said, "but I think other people make a bigger deal out of it than I do, or the players do. It was what we're all supposed to do; go out and hit the ball and try to score runs. It was a cool deal, but it's over now. Let's try to start a new one."

Posting a .350 batting average to date, Perkins has no home runs and 1 RBIs.
