OSG High: Iowa School Sets National Consecutive Wins Record

((HT: WOI-TV Des Moines))

Martensdale-St. Marys, a small school from rural Iowa, beat Twin Cedars-Bussey High 10-0 in six innings Tuesday night, setting the national high school record for consecutive wins.

The win by Martensdale-St. Marys also clinched a trip to next week's state tournament for the Blue Devils, who play in Iowa's smallest classification.

Martensdale-St. Marys finished 43-0 and won the state crown a year ago and they're looking to do the same again...

Here's the highlights...


There is a cool hook to this story...

Portsmouth High School in New Hampshire set the mark earlier this season and its streak of 83 straight wins is still alive. The Clippers won their state title in the spring.

So these two could flip back and forth for a while...
