Wilson, NC- The Tobs got back in the win column on Thursday night by defeating the Holly Springs Salamanders by a final score of 3-2. A low-scoring affair highlighted by great pitching from the Tobs was enough to push them over the finish line in a one-run game.

Wilson got the party started in the 2nd frame as Aaron Smigelski launched his first homerun of the season over the right field signage plating Tre Jones for a 2-0 advantage. The Tobs would snag four hits in-a-row off Holly Springs starter Zach Green.

Shane Rademacher would get the start for the home team and fan four of the first six he faced. Rademacher would go seven innings only allowing one-run and would total seven strikeouts.

Holly Springs would grab their first run in the fourth inning on a wild pitch making the score 2-1, but the Tobs would grab a run right back. An RBI from Ethan Ott would give the Tobs, what would be the winning, run number three.
Salamanders would not go quietly as they would salvage a run in the top of the eighth off of Jake Curry to make things interesting going to the ninth inning 3-2.

Brent Francisco would enter the game in a save situation but close the door on Holly Springs. Francisco strikeouts the final two batters and the Tobs win the game by a final count of 3-2. Wilson defeats Holly Springs for the second time this season and these teams will face off again on June 16 on Thirsty Thursday once again.
