BOCA RATON, Fla. — Garrett Wittels’ hitting streak made it through the regular season.
The FIU shortstop got a hit in his 48th straight game Saturday, moving into sole possession of second place on the NCAA Division I all-time hits streak list. Wittels extended the streak with a RBI double in the third inning off Florida Atlantic’s R.J. Alvarez.
Wittels got a hit in every regular-season game in which he played this season for FIU, which will next play in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. The sophomore from Bay Harbor Island, Fla. is 10 games shy of matching the Division I record, set by Oklahoma State’s Robin Ventura in 1987.
