The T.C. Williams Baseball Boosters played host to the 6th annual T.C. Williams Alumni Baseball Game June 17 when players from Alexandria public high schools gathered at Simpson Field for the match-up between teams Titan Blue and Titan Red.
The team rosters brought together alumni players from as far back as 1968 to recent 2016 graduates.
On the field, the Red team prevailed behind the strong pitching of Jimmy Rhoades (Hammond ’68) and Andrew Tovsky (TCW ’16). Dan Bates (TCW ’87) and Aaron Tovsky (TCW ’12) pitched well for the Blue team but they were betrayed by some defensive lapses that handed Titan Red enough unearned runs to provide the margin of victory. George Rose (TCW ’84) and the Mannel brothers, Robert (TCW ’10) and Ryan (TCW ’16) paced the Red team at the plate while Trav Clark (TCW ’11) chipped in with a pair of doubles for Titan Blue.
