Wilson, N.C. – The Wilson Tobs successfully hosted (3) College Classics this Spring at Historic Fleming Stadium. There were (10) teams that made the trip to Wilson and competed in these College Classics over the (3) weekends. Tobs General Manager Mike Bell stated “It was exciting to bring back all these college teams to Historic Fleming Stadium after a tough year and a half for college athletics. These college classics provide a warmer location for these northern schools to knock out some games and provide the Wilson community with competitive baseball to watch. We can not wait to host again in 2023 and provide another full slate of games.”
