America's national pasttime delivered another unbelievable moment on Tuesday.

From NBC News:

Years of baseball hardship came to an end Tuesday afternoon for both the Yeshiva University Maccabees and the Lehman College Lightning.

Lehman broke a 42-game losing streak with a 7-6 extra-inning victory over Yeshiva, a Modern Orthodox Jewish school, in the opener of a nonconference doubleheader in Teaneck, New Jersey.

The eight-inning heartbreaker was Yeshiva’s 100th consecutive loss. 

But the Maccabees stormed back in the nightcap to win, 9-5, ending the longest active losing streak in college baseball.

Yeshiva University, located in New York, plays in Division III for athletics and will be featured in an upcoming FOX Nation documentary featuring the school's basketball team.
