Poynette made eight errors and fell to Wisconsin Heights 11-0 in six innings on Monday in Poynette.
Poynette coach Davy Tomlinson said his team needs improve on defense if it is going to end it's 10-game losing streak.
"We're still giving away too many opportunities. Errors are just a killer," Tomlinson said. "I think John (Koch) pitched very well. We walked a couple. He should have been out of many of the innings that they scored a bunch in. We gave them a couple of five- and six-out innings and that's never good."
Koch struck out three through five innings of work and took the loss for the Indians.
