| Breaking News |  | Sunday, September 10th, 2017: Consecutive-Game Hit Streak Continues for Vega
He did it again!
Cosme Vega got another hit and ran his hitting streak to 20. He collected 2 hits in 4 at-bats, but that wasn't enough to win the game. His Seibu Demons were defeated 5-3 at Demon Dome by the Austin Lone Stars.
During the recent streak, the 26-year-old shortstop has remained quiet, sidestepping questions about it with ease. Whether for superstitious reasons or simply in an effort to avoid the spotlight, Vega preferred to shower praise on his team. He told reporters in the clubhouse after the loss, "We have a better ballclub than we showed today."
"It's amazing to watch him hit right now, but I don't think anybody's really mentioning it," one of his teammates said. "So, we're trying to kind of keep that quiet... don't want to jinx him."
C. Vega singled in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
In 2017 Vega is hitting .330, batted in 79 runs with 18 home runs and 73 runs scored.
