TROY — Fort Loramie’s 32-game winning streak ended with a 6-5 loss to Troy in a nonconference game on Saturday at Market Street Field.

Troy took a 2-1 lead after the third inning but Fort Loramie scored two runs in the fourth and two in the fifth to take the lead.

The Trojans took advantage in the sixth though. After giving up a single to Noah Dimel, Fort Loramie pitcher Griffin Meyer hit the next two batters.

Fort Loramie then brought in Joel Keiser to pitch, and he walked the next batter to score a run and bring Troy within 5-3. Caleb Fogarty then hit a two-run double to tie it. Keiser hit the next batter, then Jacob Adams hit a sacrifice fly to give the Trojans the lead.
