“We finally put all three aspects pitching, hitting, and defense together,” head coach Randy Broome said. Last night we pitched well but made a few mistakes, so now we put all three together and to come back today and take care of that. I’m obviously proud of them.”

A sacrifice by Seth Sterling helped WC go up 1-0 in the first inning. RBIs from Blake Channell, Floyd Davenport, and Sterling would push the Vikings’ lead to 4-0 by the end of the second.

By the fourth inning, WC would continue to rack up hits as Braxton McCurley and Connor Watkins both got a single along with Jack Wright who got a RBI to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead.

WC continued their excellent play into the fifth inning where Sterling hit a ground ball as Channell got the run.
