Tucson Old Timers
60-and-over baseball
Joe Opocensky pitched a complete game, allowing one run on nine hits, while shortstop Mike Dawson made five putouts and collected four assists to lead Team White to a 6-1 win in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game today at Udall Park.
Opocensky struck out two and walked one, while Team Blue's Ernesto Escala was saddled with the loss, despite pitching well with three strike outs. Team White scored a run in the first, two in the third, two more in the fifth and another run in the sixth.
Dawson had two hits on the day and knocked in four runs, while Team Blue's Bill Mishler and Ken Nebesny collected two hits apiece. Rookie Mark Capley, who was welcomed to the club today by Dawson, collected two hits for the winning team, as did TOTS veteran Tim Boyd, who singled and doubled.
The father-son combination of Pigpen Price and Mike Price went 3 for 6 and scored a run. Pigpen is 75 and his son turns 56 on November 30. Mike still has four years to go before becoming an official TOT, but was allowed to see action today, due to the low turnout.
The last time the Price combo played together was back in 2012 when both players played for the 38-and-over Orioles (see photo below) in the Tucson MSBL at Reid Park.
The TOTS will be back at Udall on Wednesday with a 10 a.m. start time. The TOTS will take Friday off, due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
