 | Galveston Stops Rilling Hit Streak Friday, September 21st , 1917 The streak has been snapped. Sylvester Rilling failed to get a hit in today's game against the Galveston Gulls, bringing his 20-game hitting spree to an end. The 25-year-old Dallas left fielder was 0-for-4, but the Deputies got the win and defeated the Gulls, 2-0. "I'm not disappointed at all -- I had a great run," Rilling said. "I got to 20 games. I got my name into an elite group with a bunch of good ballplayers. What's there to complain about?" In his season totals Rilling has 15 home runs and a .334 batting average. |   |
