WILSON, N.C. – Despite surrendering just six hits and leading 3-0 through the first five frames, the Wilson Tobs (12-7) dropped their lone meeting against the Martinsville Mustangs (7-10) of the 2023 season with a 13-4 loss on Tuesday night at Historic Fleming Stadium.

The loss now moves Wilson a game back of first place in the Coastal Plain League (CPL) East Division, with sights set on a Coastal Plain League First Half title still looming on the horizon. Both Sammy Sass and AJ Jones each recorded multi-hit games for the Tobs on Tuesday night, but it proved to not be enough, with Wilson suffering its seventh loss of the 2023 campaign.

Up next for the Tobs, a trip to Morehead City to take on the Marlins at Big Rock Stadium for a 7:00 p.m. ET first pitch. A victory would move Wilson into a tie of first place in the CPL East, with Wilson looking to move to 3-0 against Morehead City in 2023.
