Wilmington, NC- The Wilson Tobs continued their hot streak Monday night on the road against the Wilmington Sharks by a final score of 12-2. A three-run first inning again for the Tobs would prove to be enough.

Newcomers Tre Jones and Mason Sykes led the way early for the Tobs both coming around to score. Ethan Ott would add the final run of the inning as he would score on a throwing error against the Sharks defense. The Tobs found themselves in a familiar spot of this winning streak, up 3-0 after one inning.

Dylan Brosky started his second game of the season and had a bounce back performance from his May 27th start at Morehead City. Brosky threw five scoreless innings and struck out eight batters. Only three Sharks were able to snag a hit off Brosky, who’s ERA went down from 40.50 to 8.53.

Then in the eighth inning, the Tobs would rattle off another four runs. Jones would blast one over the way for a solo shot, McCaskey drove in Ott with a single and then would come around to score on a wild pitch. The Sharks would finally break the shutout by scoring one run off a wild pitch from Kyle Dixon. Tobs would hold a 7-1 advantage going into the final frame.

But the Tobs were not done yet. A five-run inning would be the Sharks to rest as Wilson carried an 11-run lead into the bottom of the ninth. Wilmington would push in a final run, the mountain was too high to climb as the Tobs win their sixth straight CPL contest and move them into a tie for 1st place in the East Division.
