Jacob Wilson (24) set an MLB record for shortstops, completing his 111st consecutive errorless game and surpassing Mike Bordick’s 110‑game streak in 2002. The milestone came after a 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, ending a 12‑game losing skid for the Athletics.

Wilson spent hours before the game working grounders with teammates, a routine that his father, former major‑league shortstop Jack Wilson, instilled in him. "I do that every day," he ET remarked, highlighting his commitment to defensive work.

Starting pitcher J.T. Ginn praised Wilson’s preparation: "He's a great worker. He’s put a lot of time into his defense." Wilson’s defensive plays—five in the field, including a 4‑6‑3 double play and a long throw to first—underscored the record.

The 24‑year‑old’s achievement sends a clear message to Little League players nationwide: consistent work pays off, especially when defense comes first.
