The Saints and Ravens battled to a draw through 9 innings and remained deadlocked through 13 before Coffeyville broke through in the top half of the 14th thanks to a pair of Seward defensive miscues to take and blow open the lead before going on to win 7-2.

With two teams going in vastly different directions at regular seasons end, Seward winning 12 straight Jayhawk West games at one point to finish 1st and Highland losing 9 in a row to finish in an 8th place tie, it seemed that the Saints would clean up on their home field, but that most certainly wasn’t the case. Highland came out and took an early 4-0 lead in game one and never looked back. The Saints cut it to a 6-5 game at one point, but the Scotties responded with three runs in the next inning to open their lead back to 9-5 which is the count they would stun Seward by in the opener. Game two was quite another case. The Saints scored six 1st inning runs and seven more in the 2nd to blow the game open 13-0 early and later coasted to a 16-3 run rule victory to force a winner take all game three on Sunday at noon.

With that situation at hand Sunday in Great Bend, the already crowned Jayhawk West Champion Seward County Saints took the field for their final two games of the regular season against the Barton Cougars. Game three of the series was a back and forth battle with Barton getting six runs in the 2nd and the Saints seven in the 4th, but in the end it was the Cougars squeaking out a 10-9 victory over Seward. In the series finale, the Saints offense couldn’t come up with the big hit as they left 12 runners on in a 5-2 loss to wrap up the regular season.

In game one the Saints erased an early 5-1 deficit to come from behind and win 9-7 over the Cougars. In game two it was a different story as the Saints smashed five home runs in a 12-5 romp to secure the conference title.

After winning 18 of their past 20 the Saints are now 30-19 and in sole possession of first place in the Jayhawk West Conference standings after a thorough beat down of visiting Butler Monday afternoon at Brent Gould Field in Liberal. In a matchup between two of three teams tied for the conference lead going into the weekend, the Saints clearly showed the Grizzlies who was boss Monday, run ruling them 11-1 in game three of the series and doing it again in the series finale 13-3 to sweep the four game set by a combined score of 45-11.

In a day full of exciting events, the Saints used a five run 5th inning in game one to come away with an 8-4 victory and in game two they used a potent offensive attack with 10 hits and 13 runs to run rule the Grizzlies 13-3 in seven innings. Between games players and fans of both teams looked on as the Saints Booster Club hosted its first ever Helicopter Ball Drop where a chopper made its way to Brent Gould Field and hovered over the outfield, dropping nearly 500 golf balls onto targets before making a quick retreat. The winners of the event collected over $3,000 in cash prizes as well as a number of other nice prizes including a pair of basketball season tickets, a signed 2002 National Championship team basketball, from the fundraiser.

Seward scored four in the first and exploded for nine runs in the fifth inning to blow out the Plainsmen in run rule fashion 17-5. In the win, Seward sophomore Dillon Drury hit for the cycle, the Saints first player to do so since current San Francisco Giants farmhand Kelby Tomlinson did so in 2010.

It looked even more that way after game one of their Jayhawk West series with Colby Friday afternoon at Brent Gould Field in Liberal as they picked up a solid 5-1 win over the Trojans. But for the fourth straight conference doubleheader, after winning game one, Seward couldn’t keep it going, missing numerous opportunities in a 7-5 game two loss to Colby to split the doubleheader.

The Saints looked primed for a series victory after blowing out the Beavers 12-3 in game three of the series, but in game four their head scratching 2015 season continued as Pratt scored six times in the first three innings to go on to win 7-4 to split the series.

In game one of the doubleheader, the Saints defense was suspect, allowing five unearned runs to the Beavers, but a six run 6th inning for Seward propelled the guys in green to an 11-5 win. In game two Seward again had a solid 6th inning, scoring three times, but unfortunately, that was about all the offense they could muster in a 5-4 loss to split the twinbill with the Beavers.
