TOTS' 83-year-old hurls shutout



TOTS Senior Baseball Network

60-and-over baseball


Billy Heiny, 83, hurled a shutout at Udall Park today as Team Blue blanked Team White 8-0 in a Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game.

Heiny, coming off an 8-2 win in his last start in late March, tossed another gem today, only this time no runs crossed the plate as he allowed five hits, struck out one and walked five.

Once again, Heiny (top photo) received a lot of help defensively as Team Blue turned four double plays. Heiny received plenty of punch at the plate from his teammates today, led by 60-year-old Tim Tolson, who went 4-4 with three RBI -- including a home run which sailed over the center field fence in the first inning.

"It's nice to pick up back-to-back wins and I certainly had plenty of help from my teammates today," said Heiny, who turns 84 in August.

The TOTS finish off the week with a game on Friday at 9:30 AM.
