TOTS Senior Baseball Network (TSBN)
60-and-over baseball
Jeff Rein, 61, drilled a shot just inside the third base bag in the bottom of the sixth inning as Team Blue edged Team White 4-3 at Udall Park this morning in a Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game.
With the score tied at 3-3, Team White right hander Billy Heiny, 84, gave up a single to start the inning to Pigpen Price, 68, and Ron Petersen, 68, followed with a line shot to the hole between first and second. First baseman Mike Taylor, 63, lunged for the ball and the ball stuck in the webbing of his glove. Taylor took three steps to his left, tagged the bag and doubled up Price.
It looked like Heiny would get out of the inning unscathed and both teams would have to settle for a tie, but Pete Peters, 64, drilled a two-out double to left field and Rein (photo above) followed with his game-winning hit.
Dan Lundwall, 68, pitched the first five innings for Team Blue. He gave up just one earned run, while striking out two and walking four. Ed Rife, 76, came on in relief in the top of the sixth and got the win, while Heiny, who went the distance for Team White, was saddled with the loss.
The catch of the day occurred in the fourth inning when Team Blue left fielder Archie Burke, 81, made an over-the-head grab of a liner off the bat of 63-year-old Lloyd Barzell.
The TOTS will be back at Udall Park on Monday morning. Game time 9 AM.
