Comets End Velez's Streak: The New York Comets got more than the 6-2 victory at Ballpark of Lynn today -- they also put an end to the 23-game hitting streak of Lynn Patriots right fielder Tyson Velez by holding him without a hit in 4 at-bats.
After the game, Velez 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."
Velez is presently batting .376 with 1 home run, 17 runs scored and 12 RBIs. His OBP is .407.
