Tobs Ready To Throw Their First Pitch of ‘24
Wilson, NC – The Tobs are excited to get baseball season started as we announce the schedule for our three Wilson Tobs Division II College Baseball Classics beginning on Friday February 23rd and continuing through Sunday March 10th, 2024.
Tobs Assistant General Manager, Drew MacKinnon, had this to say, “Each year, the first College Classic is kind of like our groundhog day. It's a symbol that baseball is back and the ballpark is gearing up for another season. High level baseball, the smell of peanuts, beer and hot dogs in the air? You can’t beat that.”
The Wilson Tobs College Baseball Classics will feature (9) teams playing a total of (18) games over (10) event days. For only $7, fans can purchase an all-day pass and enjoy high level collegiate baseball action (5 & Under Free). Gates open 45 minutes prior to the start of the first game of the day. The concession stand will be open during each event day and will offer food, drinks, and beer.
