Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Thunder Tim Tolson continues to roll this week with his hot hitting at Udall Park.
Tolson hit his second home run of the week with a three-run shot in the first inning today to lead Team Blue to a 8-3 win over Team White in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
The hard-hitting lefty went 3 for 3 today and drove in four runs, just 48 hours after he went 4 for 4 on Monday and drove in five runs -- including another three-run homer.
A perfect 7 for 7 and nine runs batted in...and two monstrous home runs.
Tolson's blast today helped his team jump out to a 4-0 lead and the game turned into an uphill battle for Team White the rest of the way. Joe Opocensky picked up the pitching victory for Team Blue, while the reliable Pete Maldonado took the loss. Pigpen Price, Dennis Crowley and Arnie White had two hits apiece for the losing team. Opocensky kept the ball away from Team Blue's big gun, Reed Palmer, who leads the TOTS with 27 home runs this season.
Palmer had just one hit today. He walked once and was called out on strikes on a questionable call. "I thought the pitch was outside," Palmer said. But umpire Mike Steele saw it differently and rang him up.
After the strike out, Palmer and Team White went quietly in the final two innings.
Still, another game in the books at Udall, despite the cold and windy weather.
The TOTS are back at it on Friday. Game time: 10 a.m. A 70-degree day is expected and the heavy winds are expected to subside.
Go, TOTS!
