LOUIS — Pete Rose is going [through a mild batting slump that may delay his date with destiny and the all-time hits record of Ty Cobb. Going into Wednesday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati player-manager was six hits away from Cobb’s mark of While he is averaging .899 hits in each game he has played this season, that mark has dipped to .727 hits a game over the last 11 games, during which he has batted only .211. Since Aug. 18, when he went 2-for-4 at Houston, his overall average his slipped from .273 to .266. “I haven’t been hitting the ball hard in games,” Rose said. “Even when I go ‘oh-for-something,’ I usually hit the ball hard two times out of three or three times out of four.” Rose benched himself for Tues day night’s game, snapping a string of six straight starts, his longest since mid-May. In those six games, he had five hits in 22 at-bats for a .227 aver age. At that pace, he would need 26 or 27 at-bats to get six more hits, and, since he has averaged about 3.666 at-bats per game over that stretch, he would need at least seven games to break the record. If he continues to hit the way he has for the past week — and assum ing he plays each game in Cincinnati this weekend — Rose would break the record next Thursday, Sept. 12 against San Diego or Friday, Sept. 13 against Los Angeles.
