Aces to face Rattlers today

60-and-over Aces


The 60-and-over Aces will try for their third win of the season in the Southwest Old Timers Baseball League today as they leave the friendly confines of Udall Park and travel to Mission Manor to take on the Arizona Rattlers.

The Aces (2-2) had their hitting shoes on last month when they ripped the Old Pueblo Club 16-6 for their second league win of the season and would like to continue with the hot bats today against the Rattlers.

Game time is set for 9 AM.

Go get 'em, Aces!

Aces Update: With wind gust at 15 mph during the early-going, it was advantage home team in this one as the Arizona Rattlers out hit the Aces today and came away with a 20-10 victory. The Rattlers led 15-5 after three innings, despite a 350-ft triple by the Aces Tim Tolson and a 325-ft stand-up double by Ron Petersen --both wind-aided as the gusts of wind pushed the ball from home plate all the way to the deepest part of the Mission Manor ball park.

Tolson and Petersen supplied the big blows, but the Aces didn't get enough long-ball hits from the rest of the lineup and couldn't get the key hit when they needed it, leaving the bases loaded twice during the seven-inning game.

And the wind didn't help much as the Aces struggled to make the plays defensively.

Petersen was saddled with the loss, while the Rattlers' starter Jerry Wessels picked up the win.

The Aces fall to 2-3 in the Southwest Old Timers League.
