March stats are out for TOTS

March turned out to be a good month for yours truly as a member of the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball club. It's been a while since I've led the team in more than one category. I finished in a tie for first in games played (11), at bats (32) and triples (1), while finishing first in hits with 17, just two more  than speedster Dennis Crowley, who ended up with 15 hits, while leading the team in runs-scored with 13 to go along with his .469 batting average.

I finished the month with a .531 batting average, which was fifth overall, behind Lloyd Barzell (.636), Ron Petersen (.571), Bob Daliege (.571) and Pete Peters (.571). Barzell was the team leader in doubles with six, while two players, Dick Ducklow and Ted Davis, tied for the most RBI with 11 apiece. Joe Aparicio and Bob Katz finished in a tie for the most walks with six, while Doc Thompson led the team in sacrif'ice flies with two.

And now it's on to April and more games on the slate for us old timers.
