On Saturday night, August 16, 2018, York Revolution infielder Chris Ashy went 0 for 4 in a game against Somerset (which included a hit that was later in game changed to an error) and with that ended the first baseman’s 30-game consecutive hit streak -- establishing a new Atlantic League record.  Ashby had recently come out of retirement to enjoy the record run of his streak.

The post game wrap that night included an additional review of the overturned hit-to-error play that resulted in returning it back to the originally-scored hit – which extended Ashby’s streak and the Atlantic League record to 31 games – where his streak eventually ended.

Another unique situation that arose with an Atlantic League hitting streak, involved Joe Jiannetti’s 2006 hit streak that bridged two seasons (with 3 games in the beginning of 2007) and also bridged Jiannetti playing for two different teams (Atlantic City and Newark respectively). Originally, when the streak ended it was marked at 28 games. However, a post-streak audit discovered a game that was counted twice in the record keeping and Jainnetti’s streak was then adjusted down to 27 games.
