Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Lefty Reed Palmer blasted his 21st home run of the season and Team White edged Team Blue 11-9 at Udall Park this morning in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Palmer set the club's single-season home run record in 2017 with 21 and now, with four months left in the 2018 season, needs just one more round-tripper to break his own record.
Today, Team White scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to turn an 8-7 deficit into a 11-8 advantage. Team Blue picked up a run in the top of the sixth, but that was all they could muster as lefty John Mathews picked up the pitching victory, while Team Blue's right-hander Pete Maldonado was saddled with the loss.
The humid weather continues and the TOTS continue their play despite the hot weather with a 9 a.m. game on Friday at Udall and finish off the month of August with three games next week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
