Bulls End Sample's Streak Friday, August 9th, 1991 For once, it was the Chattanooga Lookouts picking up the slack for Billy Sample. The club's "offensive catalyst," as Chattanooga manager Chattanooga z-Manager has frequently called him, went uncharacteristically silent today and saw his 22-game hitting streak snapped by the Durham Bulls. Sample was bailed out by the rest of the Lookouts, however, who stopped the Bulls, 5-4. The 36-year-old right fielder finished the day 0-for-2, and told reporters at the postgame press conference that "everybody did their job but me." "Not that it was a huge problem -- we still won the game," he said with a grin. "The streak was a good run though. I'll try to start another one tomorrow." Sample has collected 135 hits for the Lookouts this year, 10 of them home runs. He has also netted 62 RBIs and scored 66 runs while batting .313. |
