Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask York). They were the clear victors by a 20-10 margin over Freeport on Friday. Considering the Wildcats have won six contests by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

York got a massive performance out of Robbie Hanscom, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with one home run, five runs, and four RBI. Those five runs gave Hanscom a new career-high.

However, it's not like York struggles in that department as they've averaged .359. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
