Men's Senior Baseball League World Series
The San Antonio Texans improved to 1-2 at the Men's Senior Baseball League World Series in Peoria today with a 16-1 win over the Cal Vets in a third-round game of the 70-and-over Central Division.
Some good news and some bad news.
First the bad news. Pete Peters, one of four players on the Texans' roster from the Tucson Old Timers, is out of action for the remainder of the tournament. Peters had hoped to play tomorrow, but his lower back issues will keep him off the playing field. He may be able to do a little coaching at third or first base.
The good news: The TOTS' trio -- Bill Mishler, Bob Daliege and Mike Steele all hit safely today. Mishler went 1 for 2, walked twice and knocked in a run. Daliege went 1 for 3, while Steele picked up his first hit ever at the MSBL World Series. Steele went 1 for 3 and was hit by a pitch.
Way to go, guys!
Next up for the Texans and the boys from Tucson is a tough one tomorrow at the Salt River Complex in Scottsdale, spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. The Texans tangle with the unbeaten and 3-0 Colorado Cardinals at 9:30 a.m. The Cardinals have out scored three opponents, 63-5.
Daliege will toe the rubber in this one!
Go get 'em, Bobby!
