Men's Senior Baseball League World Series
Phoenix, Arizona
73-and-over division
New England Red Sox
The New England Red Sox upset Mudville 9, 5-2, to reach the semi-finals of the 73-and-over division this morning in Maryvale and take on the North County Mudcats at 1 p.m. and close to within one win from from the championship game, which is scheduled for Sunday.
Bill "Spaceman" Lee pitched another gem today, according to Pete Peters, who caught the former pro.
"Bill kept the ball away from the big hitters and was in control of the game all the way," Peters said, who catches back home in Tucson for the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS).
Peters had three hits today and was involved in the final out of the game when he chased down a foul ball, but was interfered with by the batter on deck. "They were upset (Mudville) over that call," Peters added.
Bob Daliege (TOTS) did not play today. He is out with an injury sustained in Game 5 of the World Series. David Byars (TOTS) returned home to Tucson last night and will not play the rest of the way, while Danny "Pigpen" Price (TOTS) is out with an illness and is now in Colorado.
That leaves only Peters left to represent the Tucson Old Timers.
The Red Sox even their record for the week at 3-3 and will need to win two more games to win the MSBL World Series ring. Go, Pete! Go get 'em Red Sox.
