Junior Jacob Jackson (Norfolk, Va. / Maury) scored the game's first run in the second inning, but the Vikings responded with a pair of runs in the third on a triple from Joey Garcia and a ground out by Zachary Hardee.

Senders collected three hits, two of which went for extra bases, and he drove in two and scored once. On the mound, junior Thomas Haller (Round Hill, Va. / Woodgrove) worked the first 3.2 frames before giving way to Blair.
