  • Bryan Hill Eclipses 200 Coastal Plain League Wins
    Bryan Hill eclipses 200 Coastal Plain League wins Wilson Tobs head coach Bryan Hill laughs off the idea of personal praise. “I’ve heard a couple people talk about 200 wins. You’re either old or a really good coach,” Hill joked. The skipper in Wilson tallied his 200th Coastal Plain League win on July 18, 2019 as the Tobs defeated the Martinsville Mustangs 10-3. “I feel honored to have been able to be around enough to make it to 200 wins,” he said. Hill has been in the Coastal Plain League for seven seasons, dating back to 2012. He began the 2012 season in Wilson as a pitching coach before getting promoted to head coach halfway through the year. He spent 2013 through 2016 with the Edenton Steamers before returning to the Tobs in 2018. Thursday night’s win ended unceremoniously. A contest in which Wilson had exploded for four runs in the fourth and six runs in the fifth before lightening halted and eventually ended the game finished with no streamers or celebratory cake, even though it marked the teams sixth straight win. “[We] didn't really realize it until after the game that it was 200 but that's still cool,” assistant coach Harry Markotay remembered. Markotay played under Hill at Chowan University where he batted .405 his senior year before stepping into a coaching roll in 2019. He also joined the Tobs as a coach, right by Hill’s side in 2019. “I'm very happy to be coaching under him. I was happy to play under him.
