They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 5-4 heartbreaker at the hands of the Jeannette Jayhawks.

As for Jeannette, the win got them back to even at 7-7. Five seems to be a good number for they as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
For Jeannette's part, Amari Thomas spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up seven Ks.
