Southwest Senior Baseball League
60-and-over Tucson Aces
The Tucson Aces used a five-run third inning to pull away from the Arizona Rattlers at Udall Park today enroute to a 12-3 win.
Pete Peters, Tim Boyd and Jesse Ochoa contributed RBI-singles in the inning as the Aces turned a 3-3 tie into an 8-3 advantage. Peters was the big hitter for the day with three hits in four trips to the plate, while Boyd, the Aces' newest member to the team, collected two timely hits.
Doc Thompson pitched a complete game, allowing just three runs in the top of the first inning. Outstanding outfield play by left fielder Dennis Crowley and Boyd in center field kept the Rattlers from scoring in the later innings.
Rattlers' right hander Ernie Hernandez was saddled with the loss.
Game note: An odd game as far as put outs go, just two at first base by the Aces in six innings.

We looked pretty good today! Tim had a great first day--and I heard there were only two putouts at first base. And both those were 1 to 3. Fun game except for Jesse's injury.
