Tolson powers TOTS' Blue to 10-8 win



TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)

60-and-over baseball

Sixty-year-old Tim Tolson went 4 for 4 and drove in four runs as TOTS Blue hung on to beat TOTS White 10-8 today in a 60-and-over old-timers game at Udall Park.

Tolson (photo above) singled to right field in the top of seventh to plate two runs as Team Blue went on to score three runs in the inning and take a 10-7 lead into the bottom of the seventh.

Team White picked up a run in their final at bat, but with two runners on and two outs, 83-year-old reliever Billy Heiny coaxed Ed Rife, 76, into popping up to shortstop Pigpen Price to end the game.

Price, 67,  hurled the first five innings for Team Blue, but gave way to Heiny, who got through the sixth inning unscathed and allowed just the one run in the seventh to pick up the win in relief. Sixty-two-year old Lloyd Barzell went the distance for Team White, but took the loss.

It was the hottest day of the year with the temperature reaching the low 80s by the end of the game. The weather forecasters predict a 90 degree day on Friday as the TOTS finish up another week of  play.
