Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Team White scored a run in the first, another in the third, another in the fourth and then plated five runs in a wild fifth inning en route to a 8-0 shutout win over Team Blue this morning at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Lloyd Barzell allowed just four hits and struck out two batters to earn the pitching victory, while teammate Bob Daliege went 3 for 3 to lead Team White's hitting attack. Pigpen Price added an RBI- double with a smash over the head of Team Blue's left fielder Ernesto Escala to highlight Team White's 5-run fifth inning.
Joe Opocensky went the distance on the mound for Team Blue and was saddled with the loss. Team White's infielders supported Barzell today with three double plays, while two Team Blue runners were also thrown out at the plate.
KGUN TV was at Udall today filming a documentary on the TOTS, which will be broadcast later this fall. A handful of players were wired for the game as Rogelio Mares, a multi-media journalist/reporter for KGUN 9 On Your Side was on hand to cover the game.
The TOTS held their quarterly birthday game today -- honoring teammates with birthdays in July, August and September.
The TOTS return to action on Wednesday at Udall. Game time: 9 a.m.
