That was the case Wednesday afternoon in El Dorado, Kansas as the Seward County Lady Saints went on the road to race their arch rivals, the #1 ranked Butler Grizzlies. After taking an early 2-0 lead and looking good in the first game of the double header, Seward saw their lead quickly erased by the Grizzlies and watched as Butler scored 10 unanswered runs to win 10-2. However, in game two they came out firing and took another early 2-0 lead in the 1st and continued to add on until they took a 6-0 lead after 4. This time Seward would hold the lead and after adding an insurance run late, the Lady Saints pulled off the 7-1 win over the Grizzlies, snapping an 11 game losing streak to Butler and also earning their first win over a #1 ranked team in program history.
