Highlanders End Gustafson's Streak
Monday, July 29th, 1991
The Roanoke Highlanders got more than the 9-2 victory at Highlanders Ballpark today -- they also put an end to the 21-game hitting streak of Newport News Cut Throats shortstop Lawrence Gustafson by holding him without a hit in 4 at-bats.
After the game, Gustafson 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."
Gustafson is hitting .331 this year with 5 home runs and 45 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .401, 32 walks and scored 43 times.
