Miners End Lang's Streak
It was the best of both worlds for the <Coeur D'Alene Miners:team#101> today at Miners Field, as they defeated the <Grand Junction Lumberjacks:team#45> 9-4 and also snapped <Simon Lang:player#12198>'s 22-game hitting streak. The 21-year-old Grand Junction left fielder failed to get a hit in 3 at-bats.

"Nothing personal against Lang, we just wanted to win the game," said Miners skipper  . "We did a great job keeping him off-balance and guessing."

When asked by reporters about his streak coming to an end, Lang frowned and said, "I won't lie and say that I'm not disappointed about it, but I'd feel much better if we had won."

Batting .293 to date, Lang has 7 home runs and 42 RBIs.
