They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-3 heartbreaker at the hands of the Garey Vikings.

As for Garey, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 5-9-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 5 runs in those games.
