Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Not everyone hits the road on Labor Day.
Twenty-three Tucson Old Timers showed up at Udall Park this morning for a 60-and-over holiday baseball game, won by Team Blue over Team White, 16-2.
The game was a bit one-sided as Team Blue took advantage of 10 errors by Team White and collected 17 hits off Pigpen Price en route to an easy win. Lefty Ron Petersen picked up the win as he cruised through all seven innings. while Price struggled to find the plate. Both pitchers are 70 years old.
Where else in the country could you find two 70-year-old pitchers tossing the cowhide on a hot and muggy Labor Day morning?
The TOTS will be back in action on Wednesday. Game time 9 a.m.
