July 10 and 11, Stumpy and his team, The Texans, played in the Mid American Senior Softball Championships in Liberty, Mo, just outside of Kansas City. They came up short in their bid to add this championship to their laurels.

In what turned out to be the deciding game, The Texans came out flat and lost to The Oklahoma Blast, 13 to 10. What makes the loss even more frustrating, going into this tournament, their record against The Blast this year, was 7 wins and 1 loss! Later, talking about the game, Stumpy said, “We play on a square field, with a round ball and a round bat, and you just never know what will happen!”

In the picture, Stumpy shows off the team’s “purse” full of Snicker Bars. Notice his pose and modeling skill!

The Texans, sporting a record of a record of 34 wins and 12 losses, will play next, Sept. 3 through 7 in the SPA National Championships in Dalton, Ga.
