Iroquois had lost 15 straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 3-15 to make it 16. They lost 11-0 to the Holy Cross Cougars. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Raiders of the 12-0 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2025.
As for Holy Cross, their record now sits at 15-17. Considering their hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
For Holy Cross' part, Jacob Sykes made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. Sykes has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one triple and one RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Colt Caldwell was excellent, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April. Mason Lanham also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
