Dairymen End Benitez's Streak: The Milwaukee Dairymen got more than the 6-1 victory at Knickerbocker Stadium today -- they also put an end to the 24-game hitting streak of New York Knickerbockers right fielder Luis Benitez by holding him without a hit in 2 at-bats.
After the game, Benitez 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."
Benitez on the season is batting .393 with 4 home runs. His totals include 22 RBIs and 17 runs scored. He has played in 27 games.
