At its end: Avalanche shortstop Tim Torres did not
notch a hit Friday to push end his hit streak at nine
games. It’s the longest chain for a Salem player this
season.

But not forgotten: Koby Clemens’ seventh-inning home
run was the backstop’s second of the season. It was
the first Salem home run in two weeks. The last ball
that left the park off of an Avalanche bat was a gamewinner
Jordan Parraz hit in the 10th inning of the game
at Myrtle Beach on April 25th. Opponents hit 13 home
runs against the Avs in the span between longballs.

Boom go the Warthogs: The Avalanche’s winning totals
against Winston-Salem this year stand at 10, 8 and 10
for an average of 9.33 per game. For 2008 overall, Salem
is averaging 4.54 runs a contest.
