 | 51s End Nikolic's Streak Sunday, June 26th, 2033 The Orchard Hills Stealth lost to the Las Vegas 51s 2-1 today at Ballpark of Orchard Hills, but perhaps the bigger news was the end of Jovan Nikolic's 20-game hitting streak. The right fielder went 0-for-4 on the day. "We felt if we could slow down Nikolic, we would win the game," 51s manager Rick Walton explained. "They really seemed to feed off his streak, so we tried to put more emphasis on shutting him down." During the current season Nikolic is batting at a .279 clip with 1 home run and 18 RBIs. He has played in 70 games and scored 35 times. |   |
