TOTS' rookie gets first win


TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)

60-and-over baseball



Rookie Dan Lundwall (photo above) picked up his first pitching victory today at Udall Park as a member of the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS).

Lundwall, 68, became a member of the TOTS in April, but took the mound for the first time in the fourth inning today, taking over for Team Blue starter Bob Daliege, who had pitched three solid innings without allowing a hit.

With the game scoreless after three innings, Lundwall allowed four runs, two of which were earned, in his three innings of work and picked up the win when Team Blue tied the game at 4-4 in their final at bat in the bottom of the sixth inning and scored the winning run on an errant throw to the plate.

With two outs and the bases loaded, shortstop Tim Tolson scooped up a slow roller and elected to throw home for a force play at the plate, but the throw was wide and Team White prevailed, 5-4.

Team White starter Lloyd Barzell, who recorded three pitching victories during the month of June to lead all TOTS' pitchers, was saddled with the loss today.

Congrats, Dan on your first pitching victory as a member of the TOTS.
