Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
June was a hot month and Big John Mathews was even hotter at the plate as he banged out 24 hits in 34 official plate appearances to lead the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers in hitting. His .706 batting average was tops on the club for all players who played in eight games or more.
Tim Boyd batted .750 but played in just four games (9 for 12), while Mathews played in all 11 games. Thunder Tim Tolson played in 10 games and finished second on the club with 19 hits and a .613 batting average, while Ron Ryan was third with 17 hits in 26 at bats for nine games of work and a .654 average.
Reed Palmer led the club in RBI with 16, while Mike Steele and Tim Tolson finished in a tie for second in runs-batted-in with 14. Mathews and Doc Thompson knocked in 12 runs apiece.
Eleven pitchers toed the rubber during the month of June and Bob Daliege led the pitching staff with three wins and only one loss. Joe Opocensky was next in line with two wins and one loss.
The TOTS head into July and another hot month. The TOTS play every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Udall Park. Game time for all games is 9 a.m.
