Game 1 – at Seward County Won 4-1 
Looking to get back in the win column and snap a 6-game losing streak on the season and in the series against Seward the Conqs accomplished that with a game 4-1 win. After a scoreless first three innings of action the Conqs broke through in the top of the fourth working the bases loaded on a Riley Haney double, Addison Spencer reaching safely on an error, and then Hadlee Richardson getting on base via a walk and with the bases loaded Stephanie Torres stepped to the plate and belted a grand slam to give the Conqs the 4-0 lead. Seward would scratch a run across in the bottom of the fifth but would be unable to get any more and the Conqs grabbed the 4-1 game one win. 
 
Alexis Holman was strong inside the circle tossing all seven innings to earn the win giving up just one run on six hits, two walks, and a hit batter while striking out three. Offensively the Conqs were led by Haney who went 2-4 with a run scored and double, along with a 2-4 performance by Spencer who also had a run scored. Torres finished 1-4 with the grand slam and AJ Poell and Kalei Villegas each recorded a hit. 
 
Game 2 – at Seward County Lost 10-4 
Second game saw Seward score first with a run in the bottom of the first but the Conqs answered tallying a pair of runs in the top of the second taking advantage of some miscues by Seward to lead 2-1. Seward countered with a run in bottom of the second to tie the game and then plated three in the third and one in the fourth to own a 6-2 lead. Conqs manufactured two more runs in the top of the fifth as Haney brought in Melanie Castro on a sac-fly and then Spencer hit a single to lead to Poell scoring to draw the Conqs to within two at 6-4. Seward would tally two runs in the fifth themselves and two more in the sixth leading to them taking game two 10-4. 
 
Offensively Spencer led the Conqs again going 2-4 with a double and RBI, while Castro was 1-2 with a run scored and two walks. Haney and Jennifer Katz each had a hit and an RBI, while Torres added a hit and run scored.
