Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Reed Palmer pitched seven strong innings and knocked in two of Team Blue's four runs en route to a 4-3 win over Team White at Udall Park today in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Down 4-1, Team White's Tim Tolson tried his best to ignite his team in the bottom of the sixth inning when he drilled a Palmer fastball over the centerfield fence for a two-run homer. It was Tolson's fourth round tripper of the season -- the club leader in that department, one more than Palmer and three ahead of Joe Opocensky.
Tolson hit his homer, despite a swirling wind and wind gusts exceeding 17 miles per hour.
Unfortunately for Team White, Palmer was masterful in the bottom of the seventh. Brad Vermeer knocked in the only run in the game for Team White. Opocensky also had two hits for Team Blue, while shortstop Lloyd Barzell hit safely three times.
The TOTS return to Udall on Friday. Game time: 10 a.m. Another windy day is expected.
