Caldwell (2-4) kept things close for a half, trailing only 1-0 at the break.
Mikel Ramirez tallied the only goal of the first half in the 22nd minute.
Erick Hernandez took the ball to the end line, where he sent a crossing pass in front of the net. Ramirez was waiting on the other side of the goal to hammer home the pass to put Hopkinsville on the scoreboard.
Caldwell goalkeeper Grayson Harris had a big first half to help keep his team in it for 40 minutes.
But Hopkinsville (4-2-1) took control in the second half.

Raul Rivera added another goal for Hoptown in the 64th minute to extend the margin to 5-0.
Caldwell broke up the shutout in the 77th minute when Colin Turmero scored on a blistering free kick from about 30 yards out.
That was the only goal surrendered by Landon Beaulieu, who made seven saves in the contest.
But it was Hopkinsville that was on the attack for much of the night, getting off 33 shots in the contest.
Hernandez had two assists for Hopkinsville while Ramirez and Cesar Sotelo each had one assist.

Hoptown will be on the road again next Monday when it visits Hopkins County Central.
