Butte's Justin Dunbar tripled in the tying run for the Muckers in the late game and Alex Briggs singled in the winner to lead Butte to the nonconference split.
Conner Anderson was 3-for-3 with a triple and CJ Wolfe was 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of runs batted in to lead the Mavs in the second game.
