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.
