It's Over: Tropics Stop Ogasahara: For once, it was the Eureka Guardians picking up the slack for Tadasu Ogasahara.
The club's "offensive catalyst," as Eureka manager Orlando Merced has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 20-game hitting streak snapped by the Tiefengrund Tropics. Ogasahara was bailed out by the rest of the Guardians, however, who stopped the Tropics, 13-2.
The 21-year-old center fielder finished the day 0-for-4, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me."
"Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow."
This year Ogasahara has hit at a .280 clip with 120 hits, 11 home runs, 62 RBIs and 101 runs scored.
