Take the recent streaks by Lancaster Barnstormers right fielder Caleb Gindl.
The Lancaster Barnstormers were coming off a 3-1 waterlogged game at Long Island and were getting beaten rather soundly on a June Sunday afternoon when Gindl greeted the Ducksâ Anthony Rosati with a homer to lead off the ninth inning. Even when the Florida native capped the seven-run outburst with a three-run double, there was no sense that history was in the making.
Two days later, with the Barnstormers in Lexington, KY, Gindl launched a leadoff blow against former Boston Red Sox starter Henry Owens. In the second game of that series, he took the first Atlantic League pitch from another former big leaguer, J.J. Hoover, out of Lexington Legends Ballpark. The next night, Josh Ravin fell victim to Gindlâs fourth homer in four days.
