Reilly's 2-run single ignites TOTS' rally


TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)

60-and-over baseball



Brian Reilly's two-run single ignited a five-run fourth inning as Team Blue came from behind to beat Team White 7-4 at Udall Park today in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game.

Down 4-1, Team Blue used Reilly's single to short centerfield to plate the first two runs in the fourth  and then capped the inning off by scoring two more runs on back-to-back walks with the bases loaded to dismantle Team White. Team Blue added an insurance run in the sixth to complete their scoring.

Reilly (photo above), who recently joined the TOTS and is one of two rookies on the team, stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the top of fourth and ripped a line drive just out of reach of Team White's center fielder Ron Petersen.

It looked like Team White was going to have the upper hand in this one with a four-run first inning, but Team Blue's starter Ted Davis settled down and blanked Team White the rest of the way. Bob Daliege pitched the first five innings for the Team White and was saddled with the loss.
