Fish Drop 4th Straight; Tobs Roll
July 13, 2016 - Coastal Plain League (Coastal Plain)
Lexington County Blowfish News Release
WILSON, NC- The Fish came back from the all-star break looking to bounce back after 3 straight losses but fell in a 15-3 drubbing to the Wilson Tobs
Logan Baldwin (Georgia Southern) scored the game's first run after a Cam Balego (Mercyhurst) RBI-single. Andrew Webster would homer in the inning to give the Tobs a 3-0 lead.
The Blowfish would push one across, but the Tobs evened the damage when Baldwin knocked in Greg Jones (Carson-Newman). Wilson burst the game open in the fourth with a two-run dinger from Baldwin.
Sam Brooks (Bethune-Cookman) would score the remaining two runs in the game for the Blowfish, but it was far too little to damper the Tobs offense.
Wilson plated three on a Tyler Howsley home run blast in the eighth inning to seal off everything.
Seven of the Tobs nine players score two runs or more. Eight of the nine Tobs players had hits to make up 19 as a team.
Jeff Thompson (Belmont Abbey) threw two-hit ball through five innings to improve to 2-3. He also accrued an additional six strikeouts.
Tyler Norris (Bethune-Cookman) falls to 1-2 after the loss.
The Blowfish are in Fayetteville tomorrow to take on the SwampDogs.
