Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)
60-and-over baseball
Randy Livingston led the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers in at-bats (44), runs scored (21), and hits (30)) while maintaining a .682 batting average in 13 games during the month of April.
Livingston, 67, had to take a back seat in runs-batted-in to Big John Mathews, who took that honor and made the most of his 10 games played with 20 RBI. He also went 22 for 30 at the plate and a hefty .733 batting average.
Of course, Jon Beady was among the hot hitters with another outstanding month, maintaining a .658 average with 25 hits in 38 official at-bats while leading the club in walks with six.
For the super seniors, the 75-and-over group, Mike Steele, again led the way with 10 hits in 35 trips to the plate, a .286 average, while 79-year-old Danny "Pigpen" Price went 7 for 30, a cool .233 average.
The TOTS have added their share of 'newcomers' this year, and all of them are getting their feet wet, so to speak. Some of the 'rookies' and their averages for the month include Angel Durazo (5 for 8 in 3 games, a .625 average); Che Guevara (1 for 7, a .143 average), Bob Lockwood (11 for 25, a .440 average); Dan Gruniesen (7 for 20, a .350 average), David Musavi (16 for 25, a .640 average); Mark Walton (2 for 16, a .125 average) and newcomer Moses Oropesa went 0 for 3 but knocked in a run.
Welcome aboard, you newcomers!
On the mound, it was Mike Dawson who filled up the stat sheet. Dawson, 70, went 4-0 and tied Reed Palmer for the most strikeouts with 14.
The TOTS roster continues to expand, as forty-six players saw action in April.
Way to go, TOTS!
