TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)
60-and-over baseball
Two right-handers, Danny "Pigpen" Price and Ted "The Alabama Redneck" Davis, duked it out at Udall Park this morning in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game.
Both pitchers went the distance today with Price and Team White edging out Davis and Team Blue, 3-2. Price, 68, threw a shutout until the sixth inning. He struck out two, walked three and allowed six hits, while Davis, 62, struck out three, walked two and allowed just four hits.
Jesse Ochoa, 61, ruined Price's shutout in the top of the sixth when he doubled over the head of 84-year-old right fielder Billy Heiny for a two-run double.
Team White scored all their runs in the first two innings -- getting two runs in the first and then picked up one run in the second on an RBI-single to right field by 87-year-old Floyd Lance.
The two old-timers on the mound this morning -- Price and Davis -- added a "southern flavor" to the game. Davis was born in Athens, Alabama and Price spent his early years in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Both pitchers have spent many years in Arizona and both have lost that "southern twang" in their voices, but the two "southerners" haven't lost their will to compete. Today it was the Razorback vs the Crimson Tide.
Today the Razorback ended up the victor.
Chances are, Price and Davis will "lock horns" again. Oops, that's a Texas football term.
