SCROVEGNI’S STREAK GOES TO 45 GAMES
GREENHORN’S HITTING RUN NOW SECOND-LONGEST IN NBBO HISTORY

OSWEGO, N.Y. (July 29, 1874) - Earlier this season, when Quaker State star Ned Morganti saw his Hitting Streak reach forty games in length it stopped there the next day. Not so with the streak of Frontier’s greenhorn 3B Remi Scrovegni.

In the bottom of the 6th of Frontier’s 12-9 home win over Eagle on Wednesday, Scrovegni hit a Single past Eagle SS Jim Fears to start the six-run rally that ultimately won the game for Frontier, and in the process brought Scrovegni’s historic Hitting Streak to 45 games in length.

Scrovegni’s streak is now the second longest in NBBO history, placing him behind only the seemingly mythical 67-game streak pulled off by Union outfielder Peter Huff from the second day to the second-to-last day of the 1871 season.

Scrovegni and Frontier have four more games against Eagle this week, an opposition that has one of the five worst pitching records in the New York League so far this season.
