TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)
60-and-over baseball
It has been a while since the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) have been forced into shortening a baseball game due to rain showers.
Well, today was the day.
With one out in the top of the sixth inning at Udall Park today, the rains came and the temperature dropped from the muggy 80s to the low 70s. It was a pleasant ending to the game for the old-timers, all of whom have weathered the hot temperatures the past two months.
Team Blue prevailed today, 11-2, as Lloyd Barzell out dueled Dan Lundwall in a battle between two hard-throwing right-handers. Both Barzell, 62, and Lundwall, 68, went the distance -- until the rain came, that is.
Chico Bigham (top photo), Mal Zwolinski (bottom photo), Pigpen Price and Barzell, all had two hits for Team Blue, which fell behind 2-0 in the first inning, but then scored 11 unanswered runs -- until the rain came in the sixth.
Ted Davis and Jesse Ochoa recorded back to back hits in the first inning for Team White. Davis doubled in a run and Ochoa singled in a run.
The TOTS will be back at it on Monday -- unless another desert storm passes through and coats the field with water.
