Games Record Stays in Oshkosh

In a stunner, Wittenberg lost game two to Earlham, 30-28, tonight in Springfield, Ohio. No. 1 and undefeated Wittenberg’s consecutive-games streak is over at 54. The Tigers won the match over Earlham in four games.

Oshkosh keeps its D-III record 57-game winning streak.

As I posted last week, what makes the game loss stunning is that Earlham was crushed in three games in its previous match against Wittenberg. Earlham had managed to get into the 20s just once in the prior whitewash.

So, on a night when Oshkosh could use some good news, Wittenberg provides it. I’m positive that the Titans couldn’t care less about any records right now besides the one that reads 27-4 instead of 28-3 after Whitewater wriggled off the hook tonight.

But it might take the disappointment level from 100 percent down to maybe 99.9999 percent. In any event, it’s nice to see the record stay in the Titans’ hands.
