Men's Senior Baseball League World Series
Final Update
65-and-over Cactus division
Bob Daliege and Pigpen Price finally put on their hitting shoes today at the MSBL World Series.
Playing their final game this week for the 65-and-over Tri Valley Giants, the Tucson duo combined for five hits to help the Giants to a 16-7 win over the Snowbirds this morning at Fitch Park in Mesa, spring training home of the Oakland Athletics.
"It's been a tough go this week," Price said. "We finally put together a win and it just happened to be against a good friend of mine, Marc Sewell."
Sewell (above photo), a hall of famer in both the Tucson MSBL and a 2009 inductee into the MSBL World Series Hall of Fame, started for the Snowbirds and left the mound in the fourth inning.
As for Tri Valley, they finally found out what it's like to win a game at the MSBL World Series. Tri Valley finished in a tie for sixth place with four teams ending up with identical 1-4 records, but the Giants failed to advance to the playoffs due to a tiebreaker in runs allowed.
Daliege and Price are back in Tucson...resting, after playing 12 games in 12 days. They tasted victory at the MSBL World Series seven times in two weeks, while losing five.
