60-and-over Tucson Aces

Senior baseball


The 60-and-over Tucson Aces played all seven innings without making an error and right-hander Reed Palmer went the distance in a 6-3 win today at Udall Park over the visiting Old Pueblo Club.

Old Pueblo took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth inning on an RBI-single by Bobby Long, but the lead was short lived as the Aces picked up a run in the bottom of the inning on a wild pitch and scored another run on a sacrifice fly by John Mathews to take a 4-3 lead.

The Aces added an insurance run in the fifth on an RBI-single to center by Dennis Crowley and added another run in the sixth on a single to right field by Tim Tolson.

The Aces turned two doubles plays during the game and Palmer clamped down on the Old Pueblo Club batters in the final two innings.
