DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Martensdale-St. Marys High baseball
team in central Iowa has won its 76th straight game, a streak that
now ranks second-best in the nation.
The Blue Devils, which plays in Iowa’s smallest classification,
surpassed the 75-win streak put up by Homer, Mich. from 2004-05 by
beating Mounty Ayr 10-0 Tuesday night.
Martensdale-St. Marys competition for the nation’s longest-ever
winning streak still has its run alive, though.
The Des Moines Register reports that Portsmouth, N.H. has won
its last 83 games.

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“This would have been a great game for us to win but we were one out, one
throw, one tag, away from making that happen. Whenever a game comes down
to a one run game as it did early in the 8th inning you can look at things
that happened anywhere through out the game which could have made the
difference. We felt we let this game slip away and hopefully we can use
that for motivation for practice the next three days and carry that into
the Glenwood game Saturday. As much as we really would have liked to win
this game, the big test comes in the first round of the regions at
Glenwood Saturday!”

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“We played about as well a game as possible without actually winning it.
We hit the ball well, Katie did another good job pitching, and we had no
errors but just couldn’t get a runner to cross home plate until the
seventh. We left 16 runners on base. Kuemper always plays well in their
own tournament and took advantage of two bloop hits and a walk in the
first to score three. After that point Katie and the defense shut Kuemper
down. Sometimes things just work out that way…you play poor and some
how come away with a victory and sometimes you do everything right and
just can’t score. At this point in the season however I would rather play
well.”

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“We again played a pretty good game and had a good effort by Liz our
pitcher but just couldn’t score. Over all I was pretty pleased with our
effort in all three games, sometimes it becomes easy to loose mental focus
on hot, three game day, but I did not feel the team did at any point.
Overall I thought we hit, fielded, and pitched pretty well going into the
last week of the regular season.”
