WILSON, N.C. - The Edenton Steamers scored five runs in the fourth inning on Wednesday night to coast past the Wilson Tobs 7-1 at Historic Fleming Stadium.

Edenton (14-4) led the game 1-0 as they came to bat in the fourth inning against Clay Smith (L, 1-1) and they were able to break the game wide open. After the first two were able to reach before Blaise Fernandez doubled home a run and after a couple of Tobs errors and back-to-back RBI singles from DJ Johnson and Jason Kanzler, the Steamers led 6-0.

Wilson (6-14) was not able to get any offense against Matt Adams (W, 2-0) as he worked five innings allowing just three hits. The Tobs, however, were able to score a run in the eighth inning when Jackson Slaid singled Zack Houchins home for the final 7-1 margin.

The Tobs are back in action on Thursday night at 7:05 when they travel to J.P. Riddle Stadium to battle the Fayetteville SwampDogs. Wilson makes its return to Historic Fleming Stadium on Friday night at 7:05 when they host the SwampDogs
