Wilson Tobs News Release


HAMPTON, V.A. - Kevin Berry did it all for the Wilson Tobs on Wednesday night as he fired six shutout innings and double home a pair of runs to break open a scoreless affair as the Tobs grounded the Peninsula Pilots 5-1 at War Memorial Stadium.

Wilson (16-28, 7-9) entered the seventh locked in a scoreless contest but finally woke up their bats scoring five runs on five hits. Berry began the scoring party with the two-run double. Cambric Moye also chipped in with a RBI double of his own which chased Anthony Campanella (L 1-2) from the contest but not before he was charged with the five runs.

Peninsula (18-25-1, 7-10) had scoring chances all night long against Berry (W, 3-0) but left runners in scoring position in five innings against the right-hander but was unable to score.

The Pilots avoided the shutout as Josh Eldridge homered to right field leading off the bottom of the eighth inning against Phillip Williams. However, Peninsula would get no closer as Wilson won their second straight, 5-1.

The Tobs make their return to Fleming Stadium on Thursday night at 7:05 when they host the Petersburg Generals.

The Wilson Tobs are a proud member of the Coastal Plain League, the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league.
