Tucson Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)
60-and-over baseball
Pigpen Price battled 15 mph wind gusts for seven innings, allowing just six hits and came away with a 12-4 win in a Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game at Udall Park this morning.
Price, 67, pitched for Team Blue and received outstanding support at the plate and on the field from teammates Dennis Crowley, Jeff Rein, Ron Petersen, Dave Rhoades and Ted Davis as all five collected two hits apiece and were a thorn in the side of Team White's 63-year-old right hander Lloyd Barzell.
Battling control problems for most of the game, Price walked eight batters and struck out one, but his teammates came up with key plays every time Team White threatened to score.
"I was having control problems but I kept on plugging," said Price, who won a pitching victory for the first time in April and just the second time this year.
The TOTS hit the field two more times this week -- on Wednesday and Friday. It would be okay with me if the wind went elsewhere.
