Men's Senior Baseball League World Series
October 25, 2022
65-and-over division
The day started out okay for the 65-and-over Tucson Toros as they trounced Arkansas 20-2 in the first game of a doubleheader in Tempe today, but the second game wasn't pretty as they lost 14-4 to the Inland Angels.
The split left the Toros with a 2-1-1 record as they take a day off before heading into their final round-robin game on Thursday at 12:30 PM against the Puget Sound Mariners at Bank Bell Park.
The Toros are third in their division and have a shot at the playoffs, especially if they can pick up that all-important third win over the Mariners.
73-and-over division
The New England Red Sox are able to field just 11 players the rest of the way in their division and a 19-2 loss today to the unbeaten Mudville 9 certainly complicates things if they wish to make a playoff run. The Red Sox, who are without the services of their star pitcher and former pro ballplayer Bill "Spaceman" Lee this week, are down to just two pitchers -- Mike Morales, from the Tucson Old Pueblo Club, and Bob Daliege, who pitched today and was saddled with the loss.
New England (0-2) is scheduled to play St. Thomas on Wednesday at 9 AM at the new Bank Bell Park in Mesa.
The Puget Sound Aqua Sox also dropped their first game of the senior world series today as they fall to Canada Red Deer, 14-11, to even their record this week to 1-1. The Aqua Sox are heading for Bank Bell Park in the morning for a 9 AM game against the Oklahoma Dodgers.
Danny "Pigpen" Price has had an interesting two games with the Aqua Sox. Price has walked five times and scored five runs in two games. Price said jokingly, "I guess they are scared to pitch to me."
The Aqua Sox are also hurting for pitching, and there's a rumor floating around that Price may toe the rubber either against the Dodgers on Wednesday or possibly St. Thomas on Thursday.
Go get 'em, fellas!
