It took an extra inning, but the Cape softball team downed Milford 9-7 May 7. The Vikings move to 7-8, while the Bucs fall to 5-9.
Cape outhit the Bucs 10-7 in the game. Sara Craig started in the circle, striking out five over five innings. Riley Windish came into the sixth inning and struck out two Bucs.
The teams played to a 5-5 tie in the sixth, and that's when the action started.
Cape took the lead in the seventh inning when Olivia Mekulski worked a leadoff walk. Makaila Sellers delivered a sac bunt to move her over. Alivia Longo got on base when she was hit by a pitch. Mia Scott then poked an infield single to load the bases. Jordynne Bowe then hit a pop fly to score Mekulski. Longo connected for a single to give Cape a 7-5 lead.
Milford rallied for two in the bottom of the seventh to send the game into extra innings.
With two outs in the top of the eighth, Sellers reached on an error. Longo followed with a single to right field, which moved Sellers to third.
As Longo attempted to steal second, the ball got past the Milford catcher, allowing Sellers to score and Longo to move to third base. A Bucs throwing error allowed Longo to also score to make it 9-7.
The bottom of the inning had Windish working around a two-out walk to retire Milford and end the game for the win.
"It was a very exciting game," said Cape coach Mike Tkach. "Both teams know how to battle, and we have a lot of respect for coach [Kevin] Barkley and his team. I’m very proud of how our girls responded and grew as a team.
"We were down several times, and battled back and took the lead. We had a very good combination between Sara and Riley pitching, and both did an outstanding job moving us along, keeping us in the game."
Briella Salisbury went the distance for Milford. She struck out four Vikings.
"This was a great game for us," said Mekulski. "When we were down by three, we didn't give up. We kept the energy high and forgot our mistakes quickly."
"We had a lot of energy," Longo added. "It was a very fun game to play."
