A happy team, The Texans, celebrate their second place finish at the International Senior Softball Association’s (ISSA) national championship tournament.

Sluggo had been on the DL since June 25, but this past weekend in Manassas, Va. he came off of it to help his team, The Texans, to a second place finish in their age group.

Sluggo still has to wear a protective shin guard over his skin graft that is healing ever so slowly, but playing each inning of all 7 games and striking the ball very well, it looks like a full recovery is near.

Two more national championship tournaments remain, September in Dalton, Ga. and October in Phoenix, so maybe the Texans can come home with a championship.

We were close this time!
