6-run rally lifts Team Blue to 9-7 TOTS' win

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

Team White's Thunder Tim Tolson went 4 for 4, drove in five runs and hit his eighth home run of the season, but Team Blue put together a six-run rally in the top of the sixth inning and held on for a 9-7 win at Udall Park today in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.

Tolson and his teammates held a 5-3 lead heading into the sixth inning, but a couple of infield errors and some timely base hits helped Team Blue plate the six runs and pick up the come-from-behind win.

Pigpen Price went 3 for 3 and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth, while Reed Palmer added two hits and knocked in two runs for Team Blue. Tolson added his fourth hit of the game -- a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth, but Team Blue's pitcher George Staas wiggled his way out of trouble and picked up the pitching victory.

It was another hot and humid day with the temperature in triple digits by the end of the game. It seems to be more of the same on tap on Friday when the TOTS end the week at Udall with  a 9 a.m. game.
