Tucson Aces
60-and-over baseball
John Mathews highlighted a 15-hit attack with a solo home run over the left field fence as the 60-and-over Tucson Aces beat the Arizona Rattlers 11-4 today at Udall Park.
Mathews, who went 2 for 3, hit his round-tripper in the third inning to tie the game at 4-4. The Rattlers scored all their runs in the top of the second -- all unearned, when the Aces committed two errors and starting pitcher Arnie White walked four batters and allowed two hits.
It was all Aces the rest of the way as they took a 6-4 lead in the fifth and then added five more insurance runs in the sixth inning. Doc Thompson, Tim Boyd, Reed Palmer and Bob Daliege banged out two hits apiece for the Aces.
Boyd came on in relief of White with one out in the second inning and pitched shutout ball the rest of the way. Ernie Hernandez started for the Rattlers and was saddled with the loss.
The Aces have back-to-back wins this month over the two 60-and-over south-side teams -- the Old Pueblo Club and the Rattlers.
