Wilmington Stops Sandoval Hit Streak Sunday, August 16th , 2026 Asheville center fielder Estevan Sandoval went 0-for-4 in Asheville's 9-6 triumph over the Wilmington Blue Rocks, snapping his 25-game hitting streak. Sandoval 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 Sandoval 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," Blue Rocks manager Tommy Osborne said of Sandoval's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here." In his season totals Sandoval has 5 home runs and a .338 batting average. |
