Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Charter Oak). They put the hurt on the Wilson Wildcats with a sharp 13-2 win on Thursday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 11-1 on Tuesday.

On the hitting side, Martin Luna was incredible, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with three runs and one double. Charter Oak is 2-1 when Luna posts two or more runs, but 6-8 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Michael Zubia, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
Charter Oak kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wilson only managed five hits.
