They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 1-0 heartbreaker at the hands of the Fishers Tigers. The Bulldogs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in May of 2025.
Brownsburg had to settle for second despite strong performances on the mound from Cole Sablehaus and Vince Painter Sablehaus didn't allow a single earned run over seven innings pitched, while Painter didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over six innings pitched. Painter has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

On Fishers' side, Owen Lukac made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. Lukac was also big at the plate, going 3-for-6 with one double. That's the most hits he has posted over his last 11 matchups.
In other pitching news, Fishers gave Hayden Werner the start and clearly made the right call: he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. Werner also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because the Tigers are undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 10-12 otherwise.
Lukac wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Vincent Pecoraro, who got on base in three of his eight plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Brownsburg beat Fishers by a score of 5-1 on Thursday.
