Hernandez Hits in 37 Consecutive Games
Saturday, March 28th , 1953
Win or lose, Jose Hernandez just keeps on getting base hits -- game after game after game. He picked up 2 more today and has now stretched his hitting streak to 37 games.
The St. Peter's Prep Flyers shortstop went 2-for-5, but it wasn't enough to win the game. His club was defeated, 5-4, by the North Central High School Timber Rattlers at Flyers Park.
"It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "We just don't want to jinx him." Jose Hernandez flied out in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
At the moment, Hernandez is hitting .352 with 1 home run and 3 RBIs. He has played in 22 games and scored 22 times.
