Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask C.B. Aycock). They put the hurt on the Southern Wayne Saints with a sharp 18-0 victory on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

On the hitting side, Janeson Steele was incredible, firing off three home runs, seven RBI, and four runs while going 3-for-3. He has become a key player for C.B. Aycock: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least three hits, but 9-11 otherwise. Jones Winters was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI.
