60-and-over Aces
The 60-and-over Aces received a pitching gem from Lloyd Barzell and lost 1-0 at Udall Park today to the Old Pueblo Club in an old timers baseball game. Barzell walked just one batter in the first four innings and the lone runner was doubled up in the top of the fourth, allowing the Aces' right hander to face the minimum batters through the first four innings.
Barzell lost his no-hit bid and the game in the top of the fifth when Mike Morales, Vic Acuna and Benny Insalma strung together three hits to plate the only run of the ball game.
The Aces stranding 14 runners in the seven inning game and had two runners on and two outs in the bottom of the last inning, but hard-hitting Dick Ducklow lined out to the Old Pueblo left fielder, who made a shoestring catch to preserve the win for Old Pueblo.
"It was a real close one," Aces manager Jerry Hamelin said, following the game. "We had plenty of chances to score and just couldn't get a run in."
The Aces had eight his in the game, while the Old Pueblo Club ended up with just six hits. Ted Davis and Jim Sears recorded hard hit doubles, while Barzell (in above photo) aided his cause with two singles.
The two teams have a history of scoring runs in bunches, but not today.
