Walsall made it 17 games without defeat as a professional display in atrocious conditions earned them a win at Yeovil. The Saddlers faced gale-force winds and in the first half which were so bad that one of goalkeeper Clayton Ince's clearances flew back for a corner.
With the wind behind them after the break, Walsall broke the deadlock with Scott Dann heading Richard Taundry's free-kick past Steve Mildenhall.
And in the 64th minute Alex Nicholls cut inside to fire past Mildenhall.
