When Kyla Stancik stepped to the plate in the seventh inning, the Ganado Maidens were trailing 4-3 and were two outs from losing the State Championship to Riesel Lady Indians.

Then Stancik took the most important swing in Ganado high school softball history and everything changed.

Stancik smacked a linedrive, two-run single, to give the Maidens their first lead of the game, 5-4. A tense final three out finished off the game and the Maidens won their first softball State Championship.
