Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Joe Opocensky and Jesse Ochoa combined for four hits and four RBI to lead Team White to a 7-6 win over Team Blue at Udall Park today in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Two hard-throwing right-handers, Bob Daliege and Pigpen Price, found themselves in a pitching duel for seven innings. With a 7-4 lead and one out in the top of the seventh, Team Blue scored quickly when lefty Tim Tolson picked up his third hit of the game with a two-run, two-out RBI single to left field for his third and fourth run batted in on the day, but Price worked out of the jam when he forced the next batter Ron Carlson into a ground out to end the game.
For Price, it was his first win of the new year. "Nice to have one win in the books, maybe I should quit now while I'm ahead."
It was not a good day for 91-year-old first baseman Floyd Lance, who was involved in a collision at first base. Dick Ducklow hit a slow roller to third, but the throw to first from Opocensky was in the dirt and Lance collided with the runner. Lance banged up his shoulder and headed off to the emergency room.
Chances are Lance, the oldest active player on the TOTS, will shake it off and be back in action next week.
As for the TOTS, they'll be back in action on Wednesday. Game time 10 a.m.
