Crowley tosses 5-hitter, Tolson injured



TOTS Senior Baseball Network

60-and-over baseball





Dennis Crowley, a 63-year-old left hander, tossed a five-hit shutout today at Udall Park as Team Blue beat Team White 5-0 in a 60-and-over senior circuit baseball game.

Team White lost its top hitter Tim Tolson in the bottom of the fifth inning when he injured his bicep muscle on a two-strike pitch from Crowley. The ball sailed inside and, according to Tolson, he heard a pop as he took an awkward swing at the ball. Tolson, who leads the senior baseball club in batting average and in home runs, will be out indefinitely.

Tolson tried to get Team White on the board in the first inning when he drilled a shot to the center field fence. Team Blue's center fielder Jeff Rein got his glove on the ball, but the ball bounced free and Tolson ended up on second with a double. Unfortunately, for Team White, Tolson was left stranded at second, which turned out to be the norm in Team White's battle today with Team Blue.

The TOTS will be back in action on Friday.  Game time is set for 8:30 AM.
