On the bump for the Jets will be Sophomore Piercen Mcelyea, who threw a 7-inning one-hitter allowing 0 earned runs on Thursday vs. East Central. Mcelyea will is 5-2 on the season with a 4.02 ERA.

The last time NOC-Enid made it to the NJCAA D2 World Series, they were crowned World Series Champions in 2019. Both Murray State and NOC-Enid are unranked in the NJCAA D2 National Rankings.

The Region 2 Championship game is today, Monday, at 3:00 PM at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.
