July 24, 2009
Wilson, NC — The Wilson Tobs got two home runs from Bobby Leeper, and a three-run homer from Matt Johns as the Tobs beat the Columbia Blowfish in front of 2,947 fans Thursday night at Fleming Stadium by a score of 10-0.
In was the 5th time the Tobs have thrown a shutout this season. They have only been shutout twice.
The Tobs got five runs in the first two innings off of Blowfish starter Tyler McBride, all of which came via the home run with two outs. Johns got a 3-1 fastball and launched it over the left-center field wall in the first inning for a three-run homer, his first of the season to give the Tobs a 3-0 lead. Leeper would follow in the ensuing inning with a two-run shot of his own, his fourth of the season to give the Tobs a 5-0 lead.
Leeper paced the Tobs with four hits, including a second home run in the ballgame, his fifth, tying him for the team lead. The All-Star center-fielder finished a triple shy of hitting for the cycle.
