Two years ago today on DotF, Mitch Hilligoss set a new South Atlantic League record by picking up a hit in his 36th consecutive games. At the time, it was the longest hitting streak in the minors in 17 years.
Jon Ortiz, struggling big time as High-A Tampa’s closer, has been demoted to Low-A Charleston. Alan Horne threw a simulated game today, and it went horribly.
