GENTILUCCI’S STREAK STOPPED AT 42 GAMES
STREAK TIES CAREER HIGH SET DURING 1870 WITH NASSAU CO.

PORTLAND, MAINE (Aug. 6, 1876) - Quinnipiac lost 10-7 at Portland in the final game of the two teams’ series on Sunday, but for Quinnipiac the more important news was the Hitting Streak of 1B William Gentilucci ended after 42 games.

Gentilucci had five chances with the bat, but the best he could was reach base via Error in the top of the 1st and again during his final trip to the plate during the top of the 8th.

For Gentilucci, he now has two 42-game Hitting Streaks to his name: one in 1870 and the one that ended today.
