Greg Stewart believes his deadly double act with Kane Hemmings can save Cowdenbeath from relegation.
The pair grabbed a brace each as the Blue Brazil went four up, only to be left hanging on as Accies fought back in a seven-goal thriller.
Stewart now boasts eight for the season while strike partner Hemmings has 14 in the league and 18 overall.
Stewart said: “Although we are fighting relegation Cowdenbeath have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the Championship this season.
“It’s a great partnership I have with Kane and we are getting a buzz out of both being among the goals.
“We took Hamilton by surprise and it was an amazing feeling to be 4-0 up at a team that are title contenders.
“It got a little scary at the end when Hamilton pegged us back to 4-3 and they were throwing everything at us.
“This gives us an eight-point cushion over Morton and it means we are closer to Alloa above us.
“We badly want to improve our home record and a win against Raith next week would be a good start.”
Stewart got the ball rolling in a sensational match when he converted a Hemmings cross after just five minutes.
Visiting fans sensed a special result was on the cards when Hemmings doubled the lead with a powerful finish from Kenny Adamson’s pass.
Remarkably, the Fifers found themselves three ahead on 20 minutes when Hemmings side-footed past the home keeper.
Cowdenbeath looked to be cruising to their easiest win of the season when Stewart added the fourth just a minute after the restart.
However, Accies gave them a huge scare with a thrilling fightback that had the Fifers hanging on.
Tony Andreu’s 25-yard screamer midway through the second half gave Hamilton a lifeline before James Keatings converted a penalty nine minutes from time following Nathaniel Wedderburn’s trip on Jason Scotland.
The Fifers must have feared the worst when Andreu’s deflected 22-yard free-kick deceived Thomas Flynn to reduce the deficit to a single goal with four minutes left.
However, Cowdenbeath produced some desperate defending at the death to hold on for a valuable win.
Relieved Central Park boss Jimmy Nicholl said: “My nerves were shattered at the end when Hamilton were pushing for an equaliser.
“Our team can be a little frustrating as we are capable of good football and scoring goals but defensively we have work to do.
“What is giving me a sore head is that we have won away at Dundee and Hamilton but we have been losing home games.
“However, I am always optimistic about our chances of staying in this league because of the attacking threat we have.”
Shell-shocked Accies boss Alex Neil said: “We only have ourselves to blame for the defeat.”
