HOLLY SPRINGS, NC- The Wilson Tobs came into Ting Stadium and used their early firepower to defeat the Holly Springs Salamanders by a final score of 5-2 on Sunday night.  The Tobs scored 3 runs in the top half of the 1^st inning, that would prove to be enough in the first matchup between these teams since 2019.

Dylan Scaranda, Logan Eickhoff, and Jared Carr would each touch home in the 1^st to give the Tobs an early 3-0 lead.  That would provide them enough runs to win the game, as the Salamanders could only send two around the bases.

Tobs starter, Darren Williams (1-0), pitched 5 full innings giving up 2H, 2R, 2BB, and 5Ks.  The Salamanders starter, Joe Whitman (0-1), was tagged with his 1^st loss of the season in his debut.

Holly Springs got on the board in the 2^nd inning when Marek Chlup triple of the left-center wall to lead-off the frame.  Chlup and Billy Hancock would score giving the Sals’ their only 2 runs of the contest.

Tobs bullpen pitchers were wheeling and dealing only allowing 1 between 3 relievers.  Paul Sullivan, Justin Guidos, and Will Schomberg combined for 4 innings, a single hit, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.  Tobs pitching staff combined for 11k’s the 2^nd highest against the Salamanders this season.

Holly Springs losses their 1^st game at home, while the Tobs pick up their 1^st win on the road.  These two teams will meet at Historic Flemming Stadium on Thursday, June 10^th for the 2^nd matchup of the still young season.
