Minor Leaguer Jamie McOwen on a Wild (Hitting) Streak

by Jim HenryFiled under: Mariners, Minor LeaguesStress? What stress?Jamie McOwen, an outfielder with the Seattle Mariners' Class A affiliate High Desert Mavericks, is having too much fun to fret over at-bats. In fact, he's on one of those amazing rides that has carried him into the California League record book -- and beyond. McOwen extended his hitting streak to 42 games Sunday with a single in the fifth inning of a 8-0 home victory over the Visalia Rawhide. A week ago Sunday, McOwen set the new California Leauge record for the longest hit streak at 36 games. McOwen may have a ways to go to reach the minor-league mark of 69 games, set in 1919, but it's not like McOwen is counting out loud. He has plenty of help in that department.Minor Leaguer Jamie McOwen on a Wild (Hitting) Streak originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:00:00 EDT .
