BISMARCK -- Put another mark in the record books for the Dickinson High softball team.
After winning its first game Tuesday, the team started its first winning streak Friday after beating Fargo South 10-9 in the East-West Crossover.
The Midgets scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh and notched their second win of the season.
Briana Farnsworth hit the game-winning RBI with a line drive that scored Rachel Jahner.
Dickinson head coach Bill Butterfield said the game was a testament to his girls' resilience.

"We'd score three and they scored three," he said.
Farnsworth helped tie the game at 1 in the bottom of the second when she hit a RBI single that scored freshman Jessica Priebe.
Fargo South jumped out to a 4-1 run lead in the third before the Midgets (2-0) tied it.
"It's great for the girls," Butterfield said. "It's stuff we've been preaching. We'd get down and come right back. The biggest thing is coming back."
The big inning for Dickinson came in the fourth when it scored five runs to take a 9-6 lead.
Eighth-grader Mackee Hoffman hit one of her two home runs in the fifth.
"It's easy to be competitive when you have 16 hits and two errors," Butterfield said.
Dickinson plays against West Fargo, Fargo North and Fargo Shanley today.
