Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
It was April Fools' Day at Udall Park today and Team White edged Team Blue 11-10 in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
No kidding!
No fools played in this one, just a bunch of old timers getting the bat on the ball.
Reed Palmer had a triple and a home run for Team White, while teammates Ted Davis, Lloyd Barzell and Tim Tolson supplied some power as well. Davis had two hits and scored three times, Barzell had three hits and scored twice, while Tolson chipped in three hits and collected four RBI.
Team Blue kept pace until the end as Pete Peters finished the game with a 4 for 4 day and crossed the plate four times, while Tim Boyd had two hits --including a booming triple. Joe Opocensky contributed a home run and a triple, while driving in five of Team Blue's 10 runs. Mike Dawson chipped in three hits and knocked in two runs.
Pete Maldonado went the distance and picked up the pitching victory for Team White while Boyd was saddled with the loss.
The old-timers can hit.
No fooling! The TOTS are off and running on the first day of April.
The TOTS will back at Udall Park on Wednesday. Game time: 10 a.m.
