MSBL World Series
70-and-over Central Division
The San Antonio Texans did it again!
Today the Texans beat Australia 19-6 to grab the top seed for the playoffs in the 70-and-over Central division at the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series. The Texans finish pool play with a perfect 5-0 record and take on the fourth seeded Tri Valley in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. at the Tempe Diablo annex field #6, the spring training home of the Angels.
Ron Petersen (Tucson Old Timers) pitched the first 2 2/3 innings and Mike Morales (Tucson Old Pueblo Club) pitched the rest of the way to pick up the win. Petersen collected two hits in three trips to the plate, while driving in a team-high five runs. Pigpen Price (Tucson Old Timers) went 1 for 3, walked and scored three runs -- including scoring all the way from first base in the sixth inning when Petersen ripped a single to right field with the bases loaded.
Bob Daliege (Tucson Old Timers), nursing a hip injury, played the entire game and went 0 for 3, walked once and scored a run. "I was able to play the field and run okay, but the hip bothered me when I batted," Daliege said, after the eight-inning, three-hour game.
The MSBL 70-and-over Central division is down to four teams. If the Texans win their playoff game on Thursday, they will play the winner of the other playoff game on Thursday between the Ohio Classics and the team from Australia on Friday for the championship.
