Under the radar gun...

The man with the gun...

Some of the pitchers on the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers baseball club were under the gun this week at Udall Park.

Rest assured Aroldis Chapman wasn't among the bunch of TOTS' flame throwers.

This week the top three were DeLon "Doc" Thompson, Pigpen Price and Bob Daliege.

Thompson was clocked at 62 mph on his fastball and 54 on his curve ball, while Price unleashed a 55 mile an hour fastball and his curve ball crossed the plate at 48 mph. Daliege was clocked at 54 and 45, respectively.

Not to shabby for some "old" arms. Thompson is 72, Price will turn 70 in July and Daliege is the "young stud" at 67.

The radar gun belongs to club member David Villasenor.

As for the game this morning at Udall Park, Thompson pitched a total of 12 innings and was the winner and the loser. Explanation: Thompson pitched for both teams as Team Blue won the game over Team White, 5-1.

"I was pleased with my pitching today," Thompson said. "I didn't get hit very hard." Thompson has battled back from knee surgery in 2014 and is improving with every mound appearance.

All three pitchers are trying to get their pitching arms into shape in the coming months as the trio plans to participate in the 2015 Men's Senior Baseball League World Series, scheduled for mid-October in Phoenix.

Hopefully, the three TOTS' flamethrowers will add a few mores mph to their fastball by October.
