WILSON, N.C. – Led by Rafe Perich’s 4-for-5 night and multi-hit nights from Elias Stevens, Anton Lazits and Matthew Cooper, the Wilson Tobs (23-15, 9-5) secured their fourth consecutive victory with a 17-5 run-rule beatdown of the Peninsula Pilots (16-20, 7-5) on Sunday evening at Historic Fleming Stadium.
The win moves the Tobs into a two-way tie of first in the Coastal Plain League East Division, and vaults Wilson into prime position to take home the second half crown.
The victory also was the third consecutive game the Tobs scored in double-digits, and the third straight night Wilson has used the long ball in the win. Perich (1), Stevens (4) and Lazits (4) each left the yard in the 12-run triumph, with the Tobs tallying 13 total hits en route to the big-time victory.
Next up, a meeting with the Wilmington Sharks on Monday evening at Historic Fleming Stadium for Monday Madness. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET. Those still looking to purchase tickets can do so through showpass at wilsontobs.com.
