Chaminade was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Loyola Cubs. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Cubs this season, with their most recent defeat being a 14-5 loss last Wednesday.

On the hitting side, Chaminade saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Isaiah Hearn, who scored a run while going 2-for-2. Cruz Rodriguez was another, going 1-for-2 with two RBI.
Chaminade's defeat dropped their record down to 5-11. As for Loyola, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season.
