Nick Williams continued the roll he's been on for more than a week.
Williams, the Phillies' fourth-ranked prospect -- smacked a game-tying three-run homer off the bench -- while Hoskins homered and scored a career-high four runs on Wednesday in Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 10-6 victory over Indianapolis at Coca-Cola Park.
Gamday box score
Williams came on as a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning and made his only at-bat count. The 23-year-old connected off Bisons starter
Since belting three homers in a two-game span last week, Hoskins had been in a slump. But the Phillies' No. 13 prospect snapped out of a 1-for-14 funk with a solo shot in the second. He went 3-for-3 with a double and eclipsed his previous best for runs scored, set most recently on May 2.
The homer was Hoskins' International League-leading 13th, one behind another Phillies prospect, Scott Kingery of Double-A Reading. The 24-year-old first baseman also tops the circuit with 37 RBIs, a .425 on-base percentage, .682 slugging percentage, 25 extra-base hits and 103 total bases.
