Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Team White's Ron Ryan, 62, stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third inning and ripped a shot just inside the first baseline off Team Blue's hard-throwing right-hander Ernesto "Doc" Escala.
Before right fielder Joe Aparicio, 86, was able to track the ball down, Ryan had cleared the bases and was standing on second base with a double as Team White jumped out to a 3-0 lead and went on to a 4-2 win today at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
Team White's Mike Dawson went the distance and allowed only five hits to pick up the pitching victory, while Escala was saddled with the hard-luck loss.
Reed Palmer and David Byars drove in the only two runs for Team Blue. Dawson allowed just one base runner through the first four innings and the runner was erased when Pigpen Price hit into a double play in the fourth.
Escala allowed just one run after the third inning.
The TOTS return to action on Wednesday at Udall. Game time: 10 a.m.
