At one point the Rochester softball team was four games under.500 and had only once managed back-to-back victories.

Eleven consecutive wins later, Rochester had advanced from a record of 5-9 to 16-9 and a sectional championship.

But the streak came to a close Tuesday in a 3-0 regional loss to Delphi (18-8).

Delphi scored all of the game's runs in the third inning and made it stand up to advance to the Warsaw semistate on Saturday.

Rochester (16-10) collected only two hits on the day. Both were contributed by freshmen, Brailyn Hunter and Aubrey Wilson. Wilson also stole a base.

Delphi senior Lexi Miller (17-7) went the distance and struck out 14 Zebras.

Rochester freshman Bria Rensberger (13-5) struck out 11 while walking three and surrendering five hits. Two of Delphi's three runs were earned.
