The 12th ranked NOC Tonkawa Mavs won three of four against Des Moines Area Community College this past weekend at Maverick Field.
The Mavs are now 10-1 on the season.
NOC Tonkawa swept the two Saturday games 7-3 and 9-0. They split the Sunday games winning 7-2 and losing 5-3.
"Going into the season I felt like our pitching would be the strength of our team and if we could play sound defense behind them then we'd be in a lot of games," said coach Ryan Bay. "So far our defense has played well and our current record reflects that. It's a long season so got to keep looking for ways to improve."
