Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Doc Thompson, who turns 79 next week, broke open a 2-2 ball game with a perfect bunt down the first baseline to score the go ahead run in the top of the fifth inning and David Byars, 73, followed with an RBI-single to centerfield as Team Blue went on to a hard-fought 5-2 win over Team White today at Udall Park in a 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers game.
It was another pitching duel as right-hander Joe Opocensky started for Team White and left-hander Dennis Crowley took the mound for Team Blue. As it turns out the Team Blue batters found just enough holes to get the job done, while Team White hit the ball hard but could muster up just two runs.
Opocensky, 71, has been stacking up the pitching victories in recent weeks, but not today as Crowley, 71, held on for the win.
The TOTS hope to complete the week with games on Wednesday and Friday at Udall, but the rainy weather is expected to put a damper on the old-timers. The rain came late this morning and the game was suspended in the bottom of the sixth.
Game time 9 a.m. for both games.
