Winning may never get old, but the Thunderbirds sure are getting used to it with their tenth in a row.

North Branford's win was their tenth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 24-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Immaculate, they moved to 17-9 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
