Thunder Tim returns


TOTS Senior Baseball Network

60-and-over baseball



Sixty-year old Tim Tolson, the youngest member of the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS), returned to action in June after being sidelined with a shoulder injury the entire month of May.

Well, he's BACK!

Tolson (photo above) played in six of the TOTS' 12 games in June. He batted 17 times and banged out 14 hits, which calculates out to an .824 batting average. Out of those 17 hits, one was a double, another a triple, and one was a booming home run over the right field fence at Udall Park.

Eighty-seven year old Floyd Lance once again led the super TOTS (the 80 and over group) with a .394 average. Lance played in all 12 games and went 13 for 33.
