Thomasville, NC- The Wilson Tobs were able to defeat the Highpoint-Thomasville HiToms for the fourth time this season in a texas-style shootout 15-10. A monster night from Jacob McCaskey led the way for Wilson, as they improved their record to 19-9 overall on the season.

Wilson got out to a hot start once again. Mason Sykes led off the game with a solo shot, his seventh on the year, and the Tobs would add five more runs in the first frame. HPT, however, would cut the lead in half, plating three of their own in the bottom half of the inning, after one complete Tobs led 6-3.

Tobs would add one more run in the top of third, but the HiToms came storming back and put up five runs in their side grabbing a 8-7 lead after three innings, pulling Shane Rademacher from the game. Both teams went scoreless in innings four and five, then the Tobs mashed the gas pedal in the top of sixth.

Wilson scores six runs on five hits, four singles, as they go all the way around the order for the second time in the game. Trent Harris made his first appearance out of the pen this year and limited the HiTom damage to only two runs through five innings of work. Harris did not issue a walk and was able to fan four batters.

Highpoint-Thomasville would chip away at the lead but every time they scored, Wilson had an answer in the next inning. One thing the HiToms did not have an answer for was the tape measure shot from Trey Paige. Paige cleared the safety net over the right field wall and the road for a 430-ft blast, his sixth of the year. McCaskey would add this third homerun of the year to the boxscore and Wilson’s league-leading HR total would increase to 40.

Tom Reisinger pitched the ninth inning and kept HPT at bay as neither team would score in the ninth. Tobs go on to win on the road 15-10.

Wilson is back in action on Tuesday as they will host the Holly Springs Salamanders at 7:00p.m. for All You Can Eat Tuesday. Fans can still purchase tickets online through Showpass. The Farris & Thomas Law pregame show will air at 6:45p.m. and people across the country can watch along on flobaseball.tv.
