Men's Senior baseball League World Series
Sometimes things can get a little confusing at the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series.
There are times when a score is called into the main office and the person answering the phone gets the score wrong and, in turn, sets off a little bit of trauma.
It happened today as the score posted was a 17-4 loss for the Tucson Toros. In reality, they actually won a slugfest by a score of 21-17 over the San Antonio Broncos.
What a game!
Doc Thompson, Ernesto "Doc" Escala, both players from the Tucson Old Timers, and Joe Jimenez, from the Tucson Old Pueblo Club, all took their turn on the mound. There were a lot of hits and a lot of errors in this one.
When the dust had settled, both teams headed into the last inning all square at 15-15. The Toros proceeded to hit into a double play and guess what happens next? The Toros score six runs and take a 21-15 lead. The Broncos score two in the bottom of the inning.
And that was the ball game. Three hours long and five complete innings.
You gotta love senior baseball!
According to Doc Thompson, the "game ball" should go to Ernesto "Doc" Escala. "Ernie pitched the best I've seen him pitch," Thompson added. "He really hung in there and he got the win."
Thompson and Escala had one hit apiece and both players walked once.
The Tucson Toros improve to 2-1 at the MSBL World Series. The Toros play Wednesday at the Salt River Complex in Scottsdale at 1:30 p.m. against the Kansas City A's.
