60-and-over baseball
Today's post is about "Grandpa" Jerry Hamelin, a member of the Tucson Old Timers (TOTS), who's all smiles after learning recently his grandson, Randy Dalrymple, a sophomore at GateWay Community College in Phoenix, has signed to plays baseball for George Washington University.
The Colonials' baseball coach Gregg Ritchie is pleased to have Randy on the 2015 team. The Colonials have now added 10 players to their roster in recent weeks -- including two late additions, Randy and Chance Malek, another hard-throwing right hander out of Aston, Pennsylvania.
Ritchie, in a recent press release, said, "We are very excited to announce the addition of both Randy and Chance to our incoming recruiting class. Both players will add important pitching depth to our lineup and we expect both to be great contributors for us next season and beyond."
Obviously, Ritchee has been keeping an eye on Dalrymple, while "Grandpa" Jerry has been doing the same in Arizona. Jerry has been burning rubber up I-10 for the last two junior college baseball seasons, speeding up the interstate to take in as many of Randy's games as possible.
"Randy is the real deal," beams Mr. Hamelin.
Randy finished the 2014 season at GateWay with a 10-2 record and led the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (NJCAA) with an ERA of 1.07. He totaled 67 strikeouts in 92.2 innings this season as the Geckos finished with a 36-23 record. He was named NJCAA Pitcher of the Week in early February and recently earned First Team All-ACCAC honors.
Randy played his high school ball in Tucson at Sabino High School.
