Fitzgerald Put in Cooler, Hitless Against Fountain Hills
Wednesday, June 11th , 2025
Halifax first baseman Josh Fitzgerald went 0-for-5 in Halifax's 5-4 triumph over the Fountain Hills 23ers, snapping his 20-game hitting streak.
Fitzgerald spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later."
"I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though."
When Fitzgerald made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending.
"There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," 23ers manager Efren Nieman said of Fitzgerald's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here."
This year, Fitzgerald has hit 8 home runs and posted a .304 batting average.
