WILSON, N.C. - The Wilson Tobs open up their 2016 season this Sunday, May 29, with gates opening at 5:00 p.m. and first pitch set for 6:00 p.m. The Tobs will be hosting the Fuquay-Varina Twins of the Carolina Virginia Collegiate League in an exhibition matchup.

The Tobs are celebrating their 20th Anniversary Season as one of two charter members left in the modern-day Coastal Plain League and is the only team celebrating two decades of collegiate summer baseball. To celebrate, Thomas Law Attorneys presents post-game fireworks and R.A. Jeffrey's begins their live band series with Men With Faces beginning to play at 5:00 p.m.

Also, Farm Bureau's Jeff Price will present free hot dog vouchers to the first 100 fans in the stadium and there will be magnet schedule giveaways courtesy of Wilson Community College.

It's also Sundae Funday at the ballpark. Ice cream concessions will allow fans the chance to build their own ice cream sundae.

Wilson welcomes back three players from the 2015 roster including the Tobs single season RBI leader and Gardner-Webb product, Collin Thacker. Also joining Thacker from last season's squad are Barton's Andrew Webster and Concord's Chad Frazier.

Aaron Lynch, assistant head coach of the North Carolina A&T Aggies, will make his first appearance as the Tobs Head Coach. This will be Lynch's second year with the Wilson Tobs, as he served as the Associate Head Coach during the 2015 season. He welcomes two assistant coaches in Kyle Hodson of Texas A&M University Corpus Christi as the pitching coach and Tripp Faulk as the hitting coach.

The Wilson Tobs are proud to announce this upcoming year will be our 20th Anniversary Season within the Coastal Plain League.
