Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Mike Steele, who turned 72 in January, is off and running in 2020.
Steele, who entered the month of March with 25 hits in 51 at bats, came up with a RBI-single to left in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Team White a 10-9 walk-off win today over Team Blue at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Team Blue had taken an early lead in the first inning when hard-hitting lefty Reed Palmer blasted his second home run of the season over the right field fence to give his team an early 2-0 lead. Both teams battled through the middle innings and Team White came to bat in the bottom of the seventh down 9-8. Tim Tolson, who had three runs-batted-in for Team White, doubled in a run and reached third later in the inning. Steele followed with the game-winner off Team Blue's Mike Dawson.
Dawson was the hitting star for Team Blue with five hits in five trips to the plate. Dawson was saddled with the hard-luck loss, while Doc Thompson went the distance for Team White and picked up the win.
The TOTS will take the weekend off and return to action on Monday at Udall. Game time: 10 a.m.
