Texans battle but fall short in MSBL semi-final

Men's Senior Baseball League World Series

70-and-over Central division

San Antonio Texans


The San Antonio Texans battled but fell short today at the Arizona Diamondbacks Salt River Complex and lost 9-2 to the Terre Haute Volkers in the 70-and-over Central division semi-finals of the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series.

The Texans had runners on base in five of the nine innings, but scored only two runs --one from Bob Daliege in the second inning and a run from Pigpen Price in the third. Both players reached base on singles.

Reese Wellmann from Cub Hill, Maryland, led the Texans with three hits today.

Daliege led the Tucson connection (five players from the Tucson Old Timers) with 11 hits  in 21 at bats in six games. The Texans finished fourth in pool play at the senior World Series and 3-3 overall.

The Texans made the finals in 2017, but fell short this year. Still a good showing from the Texans.

Bill Mishler, Lloyd Barzell, Pete Peters and Daliege head back to Tucson night, while Price remains and will play next week in the 73-and-over division. Price will play for another Texas team -- the San Antonio Red Sox.
