Jason Blum's solo home run in the third inning made it 3-0.

The Capahas, after getting six hits in the opener, pounded out 15 hits in the nightcap.

Jason Blum went 4 for 4 with three RBIs to lead the Capahas.

Adam Blum went 3 for 5 while Campbell, Kyle Marshall and Zack Smith all added two hits.
