Sunday afternoon, the longest hitting streak in modern minor league baseball history came to an end.
Indians catching prospect Francisco Mejia went 0 for 3 with a walk for the High Class-A Lynchburg Hillcats in their 6-0 win over the Winston-Salem Dash (White Sox) (box score), which ended his hitting streak at an unbelievable 50 games.
Mejia's hitting streak is the longest since the minors reclassified in 1963, and it's the longest by any player at any level since Roman Mejias hit safely in 55 straight games with the Waco Pirates of the Class-B Big State League in 1954.
