San Diego Heat knocks Tucson Toros from the unbeaten list

 

Men's Senior Baseball League World Series

65-and-over Cactus 1 Division





After two lopsided wins, the Tucson Toros lost today to the San Diego Heat 19-9 at the Salt River Complex in Scottsdale and fall to 2-1 in the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series.

"We took it on the chin," said Mike Dawson, the starting pitcher. "I couldn't get out of the first inning. We were down 8-0 and tried to battle back. We scored nine runs, but they scored 11 more down the stretch."

Dawson, from the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers said it wasn't a good day for the players from the TOTS as Big John Mathews and Tim Tolson collected a hit apiece, while Joe Opocensky and Ken Nebesny both went 0 for 3. Dawson did walk twice and scored a run, but had an 0 for 2 day.

The Toros will try to put a "W" on the board tomorrow as they travel to Goodyear to take on the Lehigh Valley Moondogs at 1 p.m.  Goodyear is the spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians.

A win over the Moondogs would improve the Toros record to 3-1 and one step closer to a playoff berth.

Go get 'em, Toros!
