Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Willcox). They walked away with a 16-11 win over the Miami Vandals on Wednesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Cowboys considering their two-run performance the game before.

The team relied heavily on Joe Sanchez, who went 4-for-5 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Asher Ward, who went 3-for-5 with three RBI and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Willcox kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 19 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.4 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 9.4.

The victory snapped Willcox's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 9-13-1 record. As for Miami, their defeat was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-18.

Coming up, Willcox will venture away from home to take on Tombstone at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Yellow Jackets' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Cowboys' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Miami, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against San Carlos at 4:00 p.m. The Vandals are facing the Braves at the right time seeing as the Braves are stuck on a 15-game losing streak.
