Years of baseball hardship came to an end Tuesday afternoon for both the Yeshiva University Maccabees and the Lehman College Lightning.
Years of baseball hardship came to an end Tuesday afternoon for both the Yeshiva University Maccabees and the Lehman College Lightning.
Lehman broke a 42-game losing streak with a 7-6 extra-inning victory over Yeshiva, a Modern Orthodox Jewish school, in the opener of a nonconference doubleheader in Teaneck, New Jersey.
The eight-inning heartbreaker was Yeshiva’s 100th consecutive loss.
But the Maccabees stormed back in the nightcap to win, 9-5, ending the longest active losing streak in college baseball.
The Maccabees, now 1-19 this season, had last won a game on Feb. 27, 2022, in a doubleheader sweep of the John Jay Bloodhounds.
