Jamie McOwen's run at history ended last night . After Modesto Nuts closer Craig Baker blew one final fastball past James McOwen ['07], the High Desert Mavericks outfielder didn't stomp back to the dugout in disgust. Sure, it was his last chance to extend his California League-record hitting streak to 46 games, but he didn't spike his helmet. And he didn't break down in tears. McOwen turned toward...
