Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Pete Peters, 70, collected two key hits and drove in five runs as Team Blue knocked off Team White 11-5 today at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Team Blue, behind a complete-game pitching performance from Mike Dawson, cruised to an easy win, while a couple of key throwing errors allowed Team Blue to add to their run total. The game ended when Team White's Rob Morse hit a ground ball to Team Blue's shortstop Lloyd Barzell, who started a double play with 90-year-old second baseman Billy Heiny. The relay throw to first base was just in time to complete the twin-killing.
Tim Tolson collected three hits for Team White and drove in three of their five runs. Right-hander George Staas, who used his knuckle ball and a slow curve ball to earn a pitching victory earlier in the week, was saddled with the loss this time.
The TOTS return to action on Monday, the first day of fall. It'll be dress-out day and a quarterly birthday day game will be played, honoring all teammates with birthdays during the months of July, August and September.
Way to go, TOTS!
