Consecutive-Game Hit Streak Continues for Sledd Wednesday, September 14th , 1977 The Chicago Traders fell to the St. Louis Explorers in Corps of Discovery Stadium, even as 30-year-old third baseman John Sledd upped his consecutive-game hitting streak to 20 games. Sledd finished with 1 hit in 3 at-bats, but could not stop the Traders from dropping the 9-4 decision. "Yeah, I kept my streak going, but it would have been better to come away with a win," said Sledd. John Sledd flied out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Ramon Juarez in the 4th, walked in the 6th and flied out in the 8th. This season, Sledd is batting .299 with 12 home runs. |
