ucson MSBL preseason action
The Price Family took in a ball game Sunday at Tucson Curtis Park as they sat back and watched Michael Price and Grandpa Dan play baseball in a 38-and-over practice game. My daughter-in-law Amber, and grandchildren Jadon, Hannah and Bree, witnessed a victory for the Mountain Blackbirds, who begin play for real next month in the Tucson Men's Senior Baseball League at Reid Park.
The Blackbirds, who received strong pitching from right-hander Sean Flynn and a two-run home run from first baseman Tom Bolen, held on to defeat the upstart Mountain Diamondbacks. My son Michael made an over-the-shoulder catch in center field and helped complete a double play as his relay throw nipped the diving runner at third base. As for me, I'm getting used to the wood bat as I collected two singles -- one to left center and one over the head of the Diamondbacks' third baseman.
Blackbirds manager Robin Badart was pleased with the effort. "We have a lot of work to do, but not bad for our first practice game." The Blackbirds season officially begins Apr 5 at 7 p.m. when they take on the Mountain Red Sox at Reid Park.
