Jacob Smith picked up the victory, replacing starter Jaxon Clampitt in the sixth. Clampitt threw five strong innings for the Vikings.

Trey Hitchcock went yard in the third to give Cape its first lead.
“It was a good one,” said Cape coach Ben Evick. “We knew it was going to be a tough game. Our guys were focused and showed a ton of grit. We got behind and stuck with our approach. Trey hit a huge home run to give us the lead, and they came back to tie it and then take the lead, but we stuck with it and took the lead back. They guys were locked in the whole game. We made some very good plays and got some timely hits.”
Cape moved to 11-1, while the Golden Knights are 9-3.
Central was led by Jace Jarmon with three hits, including a double and three RBIs.
