CHICAGO, IL. May 7, 1916 - And the streak goes on.
Abner Chavez collected another hit in the Orphans 4-3 win over the Keystones. The Chicago left fielder was 2-for-4 in the game. After the game, Chavez commented on his 35-game hitting streak, "I'm not doing too much, just trying to get the bat on the ball and put it in play."
His manager told me, "Abner makes it easy for me to pencil his name in the lineup everyday."
Chavez tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th and singled in the 7th.
This season Chavez is swinging the bat at a .414 pace. He has hit no home runs and scored 8 times, while driving in 15. His on-base percentage is .444 and he has played in 15 games.
The streak started on August 15 of last season.
