Solons take 70-and-over MSBL title

2013 Men's Senior Baseball League World Series

70-and-over division


The Sacramento Solons beat the South Dakota Rushmores 10-3 at Tempe Diablo Stadium this morning to win the 70-and-over division of the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series.

The Solons won seven games and tied one at the senior World Series -- including a 16-7 win in the first round of the playoffs on Saturday morning over the Arizona Scorpions (2-4), a team which included eight members from the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball club.

Congrats, Solons. What a week!

As for me (Pigpen Price), my body is sore after six games in six days at the MSBL World Series, but I'll mend quick as I return to the World Series a week from Monday to play alongside my Tucson Aces teammates as we compete in the 60-and-over division.

The Aces, comprised totally of players from the Tucson Old Timers baseball club, will play six games in four days at the World Series -- including doubleheaders on Monday (Oct. 28) and Wednesday (Oct 30).

Wow! Get out the Miracle Blue Ice...I'm gonna need it.
