Pirates End Gieger's Streak
Saturday, April 11th , 2020
The Calvary Christian High School Warriors lost to the Lubbock Cooper High School Pirates 6-4 today at Victory Field, but perhaps the bigger news was the end of Tim Gieger's 23-game hitting streak. The left fielder went 0-for-3 on the day.
"We felt if we could slow down Gieger, we would win the game," Pirates manager Brian Thurston explained. "They really seemed to feed off his streak, so we tried to put more emphasis on shutting him down."
Batting .337 to date, Gieger has 5 home runs and 10 RBIs.
