At Smallwood Drive Ball Park, the Caps went through the five-team tournament 5-1.
Sunday’s play began with Mount Pearl defeating C.B.S. Raiders 8-2, and defending champion Corner Brook Barons outscoring C.B.N. Bulldogs 15-12 to set up a three-way tie for first place.
The Caps, Blazers and Barons were all 3-1 in the round-robin.
A tiebreaker game between St. John's and Corner Brook, won 2-0 by St. John's on a no-hitter by Ryan Morgan, advanced the Caps to the final against the host squad.
Andrew Paul claimed the top batter award, while Morgan, after pitching that no-no in the tiebreaker, claimed both top pitcher and MVP honours.
