The young Vikings squad fell to a strong Dover team 11-0 March 29 at Cape.

“We had some positive moments like a double play, and Slater and Heers getting the first hits of the season,” said head coach Shannon Timmons. “We had some moments where our team struggled. They started to press and play tight in the later innings, and those things will get corrected with time and experience playing together.”
