WILSON, N.C. – Led by Connor Tucker’s 2-for-4 night with three RBIs, the Wilson Tobs (6-3) picked up a much-needed victory over the Peninsula Pilots (2-6) by a final score of 7-4 on Sunday evening at Historic Fleming Stadium.
The scoring started early for Wilson in the four-run win. An RBI single off the bat of Anton Lazits gave the Tobs the immediate 1-0 advantage, and after the Pilots countered, a two-run single off the bat of Tucker made it a 3-1 ballgame.
With the game evened at three in the home half of the fourth, Rafe Perich’s RBI single made it a 4-3 Wilson lead. And in the subsequent frame, a Tucker RBI double made it 5-3 in favor of the Tobs with still four innings to play.
Wilson wouldn’t look back from there, with the Tobs able to hold the Pilots down from there and picked up their sixth season of the 2023 campaign.
Left-hander Caleb Clark (1-0) picked up the win out of relief, and Reese Miller notched his second save of the year with a scoreless ninth frame.
Up next for the Tobs, a date with the High Point Locos in an exhibition game on Tuesday, June 12. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET.
