Big Stick End Lefebvre Streak
Tuesday, June 16th , 1953
The New York A Big Stick got more than the 4-1 victory at New York AAA Stadium -- they also put an end to the 20-game hitting streak of Iceland A Valiants left fielder Marceau Lefebvre by holding him without a hit in 3 at-bats.
After the game, Lefebvre 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."
This season, Lefebvre is batting .404 with 12 RBIs, 21 runs scored and no home runs.
