FanHouse Jamie McOwen

The Modesto Nuts found a way to stop Jamie McOwen Friday night.

McOwen, an outfielder with the Seattle Mariners' Class A affiliate High Desert Mavericks, had his California League-record 45-game hitting streak snapped in the Mavericks' 2-0 defeat at Modesto. McOwen finished his two-month journey with the eighth-longest hit streak in minor league history.

The left-handed hitting McOwen went 0-for-3 with a walk against the Nuts, but it wasn't without drama.

Stress? 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.
