It took a trip to Abbotsford to halt the Burnaby Braves’ 10-game undefeated streak.
The AAA midget baseball team saw its run halted after losses of 3-2 and 9-4 on the weekend in under-15 league play.
After falling behind 2-0 in the opener, the Braves tied the game in the top of the seventh only to see Abbotsford walk off with a run in the bottom of the inning.
Williams Camacho-Soto tossed six solid innings, allowing one earned run on only three hits, while Michael Briglio and Evan Hoegler picked up a pair of hits each.
In the second game of the doubleheader, it was a similar story.
Down 3-0, Burnaby plated two runs in the third, with Kaz Kada’s two-out single driving home one of the runs. The Braves would count two more runs to go ahead 4-3, but Abbotsford reclaimed the lead on a three-run blast in the fifth and didn’t look back.
Daniel Martin’s effort kept the Braves in the game, throwing 5-1/3 innings, giving up two earned runs.
Prior to the Abbotsford trip, Burnaby had been on an impressive run.
Beginning on the last day of April, the Braves steamrolled its competition with 10 straight wins -- half of which were by a one-or-two run margin.
They knocked off rival White Rock 5-4 last week for their 10th game without a loss and eighth straight league win.
Back-to-back doubles by Briglio and Hoegler in the third broke open a 2-2 draw, followed later by a clutch Camacho-Soto double, driving home Kyle Kochi after he led off with a triple.
The game-winning run was a result of a successful suicide squeeze laid down by Brendan Wang.
Sam Van Snellenberg closed out the win, earning his first save, as Hoegler corralled his team-leading fourth win of the season.
The Braves’ next test comes this weekend at a Richmond tournament.
