The 8th ranked NOC Enid Jets built a 9-4 lead and then held of Des Moines Area Community College 9-7 in the first of a four game set at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.

The Jets were led by Calyn Halvorson who had a single, double and three runs batted in.  Brandon Lees had a triple and four runs batted in while Tanner Holliman had a triple and two runs batted in.

"Really proud of how the team approached tonight, hitters had good at bats, pitchers made big pitches at big moments, defense was good, dugout was fun, really good formula for success," said coach Scott Mansfield.  "If we continue to do all of those, makes for a competitive weekend where you'll give yourself a chance to win the series."

The Jets had two big innings, a four run second and a four run fifth.

Dylon Mallett earned the win out of the Jets' bullpen tossing four scoreless innings.  Murphy Gienger pitched the ninth inning earning the save striking out two.
