Oakridge extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping their season record down to 12-8 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 6-5 heartbreaker at the hands of the Whitehall Vikings. The Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vikings apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
