Lisbon C Halts Cuoco's Hitting Steak
Thursday, May 28th , 1953
Marquise Cuoco came rolling into today's game against the Lisbon C Whitehawks with a 27-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Whitehawks Grounds.
The 22-year-old New York C Inferno right fielder went 0-for-1 against the Whitehawks as the Inferno fell, 17-2.
"I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all."
Thus far this season, Cuoco is hitting .500 with 5 home runs, 23 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has 48 hits in 96 at-bats and has played in 24 games.
