Hardship found no home at the afternoon doubleheader of April 8, 2025, for both the Yeshiva University Maccabees and the Lehman College Lightning.

Lehman, of the City University of New York, broke a 42 (or 41?)-game losing streak with a 7-6 extra-innings thriller over Yeshiva, a Modern Orthodox Jewish school, in the opener.

The heartbreaker was Yeshiva’s 100th consecutive loss. 

In game 2 the Maccabees stormed back 9-5 to avoid a 101st.

The 1961 Philadelphia Phillies of the National League had a long way to go in catching-up-or-down in futility by losing 23 consecutive games. (The 1889 Louisville Colonels hold the record for the longest losing streak in official MLB history at 26 games.)
