Spuds End Diekman's Streak
<Mark Diekman:player#12146>'s 20-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today as the <Orlando Oceanics:team#57> suffered a 13-6 setback against the <Jupiter Spuds:team#102>.

Diekman went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. He was visibly upset during a postgame press conference, but it appeared that the streak had little to do with it.

"The hitting streak was one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I'm not going to lose any sleep about it tonight," he said. "On the other hand, I am going to lose sleep about dropping this game today."

For the year <Diekman:player#12146> is batting .366 with 96 hits and 7 home runs. He has scored 62 times and driven in 68.
