| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, April 16th, 1941: Shadows Chill Marion's Hot Streak
The Plano Shadows got more than a 9-8 victory over Decatur today at Fire Ballpark. They put an end to Red Marion's 21-game hitting spree by holding him without a hit in 4 at-bats. But it was no big deal to the Fire left fielder.
Marion seemed to feel more for his team than himself.
"I had some great looks at some pitches that I should have hit. I missed some that I shouldn't have swung at. All in all, I wasn't much help with the bat today."
Marion has collected 15 hits for the Fire this year, 1 of them home runs. He has also netted 12 RBIs and scored 4 runs while batting .484. |

Marion has a .609 average and a .640 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 14 hits, 1 home run and driven in 12 runs. |
