 | Paterson Stops Ling Hit Streak Wednesday, April 25th , 1917 The Paterson Industrians pitching staff did its job, holding hot-hitting Gus Ling hitless in 4 at-bats during the club's 5-0 victory over the Wilmington Shipwrights at Silk Mill Grounds. The disappointing performance ended a 23-game hitting streak for the third baseman. "I'm a little down right now," Ling said after the game. "I couldn't get anything going when the team needed me, and I hated to see the streak end, too." In 7 games this season, Ling is batting .296 with 8 hits and 2 home runs. He has scored 5 runs and driven in 4. |   |
