The HiToms Baseball Club released their 2010 schedule today. On the heels of their seventh consecutive Coastal Plain League playoff appearance, the HiToms will host 31 home games at Historic Finch Field. Managed by first-year head coach Tom Dorzweiler, the HiToms will host 28 games against Coastal Plain League foes and three contests against Carolina-Virginia Conference teams.



The HiToms will launch their 12th Coastal Plain League season in 2010 with a road contest Wednesday, May 26th against fellow Western Division foe Martinsville. The Tommies return home the following night – Thursday, May 27th - to start their home schedule when the Forest City Owls pay their first of six visits to Finch Field. The slate of home games continues over the Memorial Day weekend when the HiToms host the Martinsville Mustangs on Saturday, May 29th and the Gastonia Grizzlies on Memorial Day Monday. The match-up against the Grizzlies will also serve as the first home contest the HiToms have hosted on Memorial Day since their return in 1999. Thomasville Medical Center will also help celebrate the city of Thomasville’s annual Memorial Day Celebration by sponsoring a Fireworks Show after the 6:00 p.m. Monday night start.



“Our entire organization is committed to winning a championship this summer,” HiToms President Greg Suire. “Although we qualified for the playoffs last year, we did not reach our franchise goals in 2009. We are committed to improving our performance this season, and in addition dedicated to providing our fan base with an exciting and entertaining season.



For the sixth consecutive year, the HiToms will be hosting a Fourth of July Fireworks Shows. Sponsored by Comfort Tech Heating & Air Conditioning, the Independence Day Celebration will be followed by 13 more home games in July and August and the second consecutive year of divisional playoff rounds in the C.P.L. Petit Cup Championship.
