That streak ended Wednesday in Irving for the first round of the PONY baseball World Series (ages 10 and under), when Puerto Rico defeated Forest Hills 10-7.

The loss ended the north Tampa team's unbeaten string at 13.

Forest Hills went up 4-0 after the first inning on a two-run homer by Jake Lowe and a run-scoring single by Joe Hudson.

The lead was extended to 6-1 after three innings, before Puerto Rico mounted its comeback, taking advantage of Forest Hills errors and getting timely hitting.

Puerto Rico went ahead 7-6 in the fifth inning and extended its lead to 10-6 before Forest Hills made a final run in its last at-bat.

Forest Hills pushed across one run and had the bases loaded, but the game ended on a strikeout.

Forest Hills plays tonight at 8:30 in the second round of pool play. A loss would all but end any chance of Forest Hills winning the World Series title.
