MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- Garrett Wittels used a headfirst slide to keep his hitting streak alive. It helped extend Florida International's season as well.
Wittels pushed his hitting streak to 53 games, five away from Robin Ventura's NCAA Division I record, with an infield single Saturday in the eighth inning of FIU's game against Florida Atlantic in the Sun Belt Conference tournament at Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Good stat. Is he legit? I've been following this for about the past week, but have been too lazy to look into it.

Well, he isn't draft eligible this year, but I'd have to say this has helped scouts notice him.

How is a person not draft eligible?

I didn't know that about college sophomores.

54 and counting. They got the 3 seed in the Miami regional. Doubt they get to Omaha, but he's got a chance to at least tie the record.

Will he be able to carry that over at the beginning of next year also for record purposes?

Didn't know about the rape charges. I saw this on the ticker this morning and said, "Poor guy, wish he deserved that record." I take back my words.

 

[Vols520]

It's just an allegation. Everybody is so quick to condemn.
