HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. – Despite Trent Harris’ five scoreless innings and Scott Mackiewicz’s 3-for-5 night, the Wilson Tobs (11-6) found themselves shutout for the first time this season in a 1-0 loss to the Holly Springs Salamanders (8-11) on Friday evening at Ting Stadium.
The loss marked the Tobs’ first this season to the Salamanders in four tries, and the third in Holly Springs. Wilson mustered just five hits on the day in the one-run defeat, with three coming from Mackiewicz and two coming from designated hitter Sammy Sass.
The lone run on the day scored in the seventh on a wild pitch that allowed pinch-runner Mika Peterson to score from third, with that being all the Salamanders needed in their eighth victory of the season.
The Tobs will look to bounce back this Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET when they travel to Wilmington to take on the Sharks at Buck Hardee Field for the first time this season. Wilson won the first meeting between these two teams earlier this year, a 10-1 demolition of Wilmington at Historic Fleming Stadium back on June 8.
