Jenna Chassie and Laney Hover combined in the circle for NOC.
In Game 2, the Maverick bats came to life as NOC outhit the Tigers 15-10. Katelyn Yee had two home runs and six runs batted in while Kylee Burns also homered for NOC.
Maggie Landes, Rachel Rumsey, Hallie Durkee, Murry, and Yee each had two hits for the Mavs.
"It was a tough day in the circle for us," said coach Tori Wilde. "We have to be better at spinning the ball and hitting spots. Offensively, we started off slow and it hurt us in the first game. In the second game, we were strong at the plate. We just have to get better defensively and keep working hard."
