Stumpy, and his team The Texans, just finished playing in the Senior Softball World Championships held in Phoenix.

 Stumpy’s ready to hit!

The Texans finished second out of sixteen teams, falling 11-4 to a very strong team from Syracuse. In the Texan’s defense, before playing Syracuse for the championship, they had unluckily fallen into the losers bracket, and that day, had already played three games, all in 90 degree, heat. The Texans ended with a 7 and 4 record and in the three National Championship tournaments, finished first once with two seconds.                                                                                                                                                             The Texans have qualified for the Tournament Of Champions to be held in Winter Haven, Florida in mid January, 2009 and, as of this writing, haven’t committed to it. About this, Stumpy says, “We’re all still to tired and sore from eleven games in four days, in 90 degree temperature, in Phoenix, to worry about Florida this winter!
