Destroyers End Elvin's Streak
The 21-game hitting streak of <Pittsburgh Crawfords:team#23> first baseman <Bob Elvin:player#8987> came to an end today at Crawfords Field. The <Annapolis Destroyers:team#12> held him hitless in 4 at-bats and also sent the Crawfords down to defeat, 5-4.

Later, Elvin 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."

This year <Elvin:player#8987> is hitting .360 with 6 home runs.
