That's the most hits Cole has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Tylaya Lingo, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
They weren't the only one making solid contact: Wicksburg kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in four consecutive contests.
