WILSON, N.C.- The Wilson Tobs played their second straight day at home earning a victory in an exhibition contest over the Carolina Pirates, 10-0.

After leaving the bases loaded in the first, the Pirates surrendered a pair of runs to Matt Eppers and Cameron Balego on a pair of errors. The Tobs would add to the lead on a Logan Baldwin single plus a throwing error that scored Eppers again.

On the mound, lefty Jeff Thompson was dominant with his breaking pitches earning seven Ks through five innings of work.

In the bottom of the fifth, Cameron Balego teed off for a two run smack to left field, making it 5-0 Tobs. Balego was 2-3 and was plunked by a pitch in the ballgame.

Dillon DeBlieux relieved Thompson and worked three innings earning himself 5 strikeouts while managing to yield only one hit.

WILSON, NC- The Tobs poured it on in the seventh and eighth frames. Willie McRae scored on an infield single followed by a first to third dash on a blown pickoff attempt, rounded out by advancing on a passed ball. Balego plated Logan Baldwin as well.

In the eighth, McRae earned his third hit (3-4) and and RBI as he plated Justin Dattilo. Collin Thacker and Andrew Webster also hit and scored in the eight,

Alex Yarem closed the game in short order to seal a 10-0 victory.

The Tobs are back in CPL action on Monday facing the Wilmington Sharks. It's the first of three meetings this week with the Big Fish. At Fleming Stadium, a celebration of the best elementary readers in the county will take place with our "Read Around the Bases" event.

It's also State Farm Jana Lake Bang-For-Your-Buck Monday featuring $1 sno-cones, popcorn, and hot dogs.
