2013 Men's Senior Baseball League World Series
60-and-over Cactus division
The SLC/KC Dodgers blanked the Sacramento Solons 17-0 in the MSBL World Series 60-and-over Cactus division title game today at the Tempe Diablo Sports Complex.
The two teams survived the week-long battle in the eight-team Cactus division to make it to the championship game. The Dodgers entered the title matchup with a 6-1 record, while the Solons compiled a 5-2 record.
But in the finale, it was all Dodgers. The Tucson Aces (1-5), a team comprised of players from the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball club, lost to both teams during the six-game round-robin. All the teams are guaranteed six games during the senior World Series and in the Cactus division only four teams make it to the playoffs. The Dodgers beat the Arizona Scorpions 8-5 in the semi-finals, while the Solons defeated the Paladin Club from Albuquerque, 16-4.
In the title game: Dave Welsh tossed a three-hitter and struck out eight batters as the Salt Lake / Kansas City Dodgers vanquished the Sacramento Solons 17-0. Welsh and his battery mate Mark Adams devastated the Solons. Adams homered, tripled, and singled in four trips and had four RBI. Welsh was 3-for-3 with two RBI. Welsh was named the tournament MVP.
