Picture Rocks Stops Nelson Hit Streak Wednesday, May 6th , 2026 Ft. Wayne third baseman Troy Nelson went 0-for-3 in Ft. Wayne's 5-4 triumph over the Picture Rocks Raptors, snapping his 23-game hitting streak. Nelson spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later." "I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though." When Nelson made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending. "There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Raptors manager Justin Shelhart said of Nelson's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here." This season, Nelson is batting .496 with 11 home runs. He has scored 31 runs and driven in 32. |
