They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Benson Bunnies. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Links of the 16-5 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September of 2024.
Nora Davy made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one triple and one run. The team also got some help courtesy of Evie Becher, who went 2-for-3 with one double.
As for Benson, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 7-14. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of 1.5 runs across that stretch.
On Benson's side, Brooke Lynn Kaiser Bates spent all 7.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on six hits.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Jhelen Suarez Ramirez, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
