Eau Claire extended their losing streak to 11 on Tuesday, dropping them down to 0-11. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 12-10 heartbreaker at the hands of the Lawrence Tigers. If the Beavers were looking for revenge after losing 19-8 to the Tigers when the teams met back in May of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Lawrence, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 5-14-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games.
For Lawrence's part, Brydan Carroll and Lucas Sinkler were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Carroll pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Sinkler tossed 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. At bat, Carroll went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI, while Sinkler went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Lawrence is undefeated when Carroll posts two or more runs, but 2-14-1 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jon Shabala, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Colton Anders also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
While Eau Claire had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
