The Ferrets won the toss and elected to bat but lost the wicket of Harrison Steele early when Jason Burke caught him off the bowling of Jordan Camm.
Mathew and Adrian Axtil were able to get the scoreboard ticking over with a 21-run partnership before Mathew (5) was the next to fall to Camm.
Adrian Axtill was able to keep his side moving in the right direction as he and Ashley Frazer got their team past 50 before Frazer (14) with Axtill (27) following closely behind with Rohan Lacey picking up both wickets.
Blake McDonald (17) was able to make a start before he and Tyler O'Connell (3) were the next to fall to the bowling of Lacey (4/29) with the Ferrets sitting on 6/83 with 31.2 overs bowled.
Maclean Crompton (15) was able to add some late runs before two runs outs to Thomas Camm saw the Ferrets bowled out for 106 in the 39th over.
The chase didn't make the strongest start for the Stags with Jock Yelland (1) falling to the bowling of Crompton with the score on 15.
Two overs later and Josh Lanham (1) followed Yelland back to the pavilion as he became Crompton's (2/20) second victim while wickets continued to fall at regular intervals with McDonald (2/17) picking up the wickets of Jordan Camm (18) and Tye Clancy (0) in quick succession.
When Noah Maybon finally dismissed Burke (30), the Stags were in a world of trouble sitting at 5/63 after 16.4 overs.
The woes deepened when the Yanco side lost 4/6 in the space of 18 deliveries.
Thomas Camm (7) was the first to depart while Zachary Manwaring followed three balls later with Adrian Axtill picking up the pair while Frazer (2/8) was able to trap Mark Doyle (5) in front before Dylan Whitman took a catch to dismiss Darcey Cullen (1).
Brad Evans (14*) gave his side a chance before Lacey fell to the bowling of Axtill (3/33) to see the Stags bowled out in the 25th over on 93 and give the Ferrets the 13-run victory.
