The former Gamecock infielder made his first appearance for the single A affiliate of the Arizona Diamond backs Tuesday night, and made an impact right away.
After going 0-3 through the first few at-bats LT stepped up to the plate with the pressure on. His team was trailing 3-4 in the bottom of the 10th with two outs. Tolbert proved his worth by bringing in his two teammates on second and third.
