McKeesport’s 10-game winning streak came to a sudden halt Tuesday night. The Tigers led by one with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter before Oakland Catholic finished the game on a 9-0 run to capture a 59-51 win in a battle of Section 3-4A unbeatens at the Neenie Campbell Gymnasium. The Eagles (12-2, 6-0), who have now won 10 consecutive games, are now in sole possession of first place after handing the Tigers their first loss since Dec. 6.
