 | Pioneers End Martin's Streak Monday, August 28th, 1933 The St. Louis Pioneers got more than the 7-5 victory at Pioneer Field II today -- they also put an end to the 20-game hitting streak of Chicago Chiefs first baseman Bob Martin by holding him without a hit in 5 at-bats. After the game, Martin 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." So far in 1933 Martin is batting .335 with 6 home runs, 66 RBIs and 85 runs scored. He has 183 hits in 546 at-bats and a .373 OBP. |   |
