After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Benson, Willcox was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They were the clear victors by a 13-0 margin over the Santa Rita Eagles. The Cowboys might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by six runs or more this season.
The team relied heavily on Anthony Morales, who scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Ty Shull was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in both of his plate appearances.
Willcox always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .636. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Willcox has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-10-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Willcox will host Morenci at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Santa Rita, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against Tombstone at 4:00 p.m. The Yellow Jackets' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Eagles' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
