 | Lowder Hit Streak Reaches 20 Games Tuesday, August 22nd , 1916 With 1 hit at Oakland Base Ball Park, Jim Lowder added another game to his hitting streak -- the Portland third baseman has now hit safely for 20 games in a row. But the hitting feat wasn't enough for the Foresters, as they fell, 12-7, to the Oakland Acorns. "Frankly, I don't care about hits," Oakland manager Tom Hill said later. "I'll let him get 5 hits in 5 at-bats if it means we get a win." Jim Lowder struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, grounded out in the 5th and grounded out in the 8th. Lowder is currently hitting .335 with 4 home runsand 64 RBIs, while scoring 76 runs. |   |
