Tucson Aces
60-and-over baseball
The pitchers on the 60-and-over Old Pueblo Club discovered rather quickly at Udall Park this morning that the Tucson Aces' lineup was a force to be reckoned with.
The Aces built a 7-2 lead early with a five-run third inning and then finished off the visitors from the south side with another five-run inning in the bottom of the eighth. The result: a 12-8 victory and the third win a row for the hard-hitting Aces.
Old Pueblo tried to fight back and actually pulled within a run at 7-6 in the top of the eighth, but up came the "big boys" for the Aces -- Reed Palmer, Tim Boyd, John Mathews, Tim Tolson, Joe Opocensky and David Byars. Before the inning was over the Aces had plated five insurance runs to take a commanding 12-6 lead. Old Pueblo plated two more runs in the top of the ninth, but that was it and the Aces notched another win at their home park.
Opocensky started for the Aces and picked up the win. Mike Dawson came on in the ninth and recorded the save.
