Boston College Halts Giunta's Hitting Steak Thursday, May 4th , 2023 Josh Giunta came rolling into today's game against the Boston College Eagles with a 21-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at Eddie Pellagrini Diamond. The 18-year-old Purdue Boilermakers catcher went 0-for-6 against the Eagles as the Boilermakers fell, 8-2. "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." This year, Giunta is hitting .311 with 6 home runs and 25 RBIs in 45 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .383 with 18 walks and 23 runs scored. |
