Wilson Defeats Fuquay-Varina in Exhibition

The Tobs took a comanding 5-0 lead with a three-run fifth inning thanks to a two-run double off the bat of Tony Montlabano who later scored on a balk to make it 5-0 Tobs.

Fuquay-Varina then came storming back with three runs in the sixth to chase starter Phillip Williams from the game.

The Twins tacked on a run in the eighth but couldn't get any closer as Daniel Brown earned the save for the Tobbaconists in their 5-4 exhibition victory.

Monday marks the return to Coastal Plain League play for the Tobs as they welcome the Peninsula Pilots to Historic Fleming Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:05.
