TOTS Senior Baseball Network
60-and-over baseball
Team White pulled out an 8-7 win in the bottom of the seventh inning at Udall Park Monday morning in a Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) baseball game.
And they did it with experience on the bases -- 239 years of it, to be exact.
Team White loaded the bases with no outs. At first base sat 81-year-old Archie Burke, at second 82-year-old Jerry Smarik and at third base, the youngster, 76-year-old Denny Leonard.
Team Blue right-hander Pete Peters struggled a bit on the mound and walked Brian Reilly, allowing Leonard to trot home from third with the tying run and Ron Petersen followed with a single to center, scoring Smarik and Team White walked away with the hard-fought win.
It was a game for the ages.
