Wilson Tobs News Release


Wilson, NC - The Wilson Tobs are proud to welcome back their first of three Annual High School Baseball Classic to be held at Historic Fleming Stadium on Friday, March 22nd and Saturday, March 23rd. The Classic will feature (6) games that involve (12) high school varsity steams from around North Carolina.

As usual, there is no monetary team entry fee for the Tobs Classic, but teams are asked to bring non-perishable food donations for the Tobs "Home Run 4 Hunger Program". Food donations provided by players, coaches, and fans will be distributed to local food pantries, feeding those who are less fortunate in the Wilson County area.

"We are excited to kick off our high school events for the spring of 2024! Year after year, bringing teams from all over North Carolina to Wilson for these events and seeing matchups that might not normally occur is unique for these young players. Putting on an experience that gives them a taste of what it is like to play in a collegiate atmosphere is our goal," said Wilson Tobs General Manager Mike Bell.

For just $9, fans can purchase an all-day pass and enjoy a full day of baseball action at Historic Fleming Stadium. Gates will open one hour prior to the start of the first game of the day.
