Well, the Chumado's fell to the Slumpbusters last night but to quote Khalid, "This was the best game we've ever lost". It was truly a good game. We matched up head to head defensively, we held each other for the most part, the innings were quick but we just lost our grip on runs in the 5th inning and lost 7 - 3. Although we couldn't get the runs in that we knew we should, everyone made some really good plays and above all we HAD FUN! Thanks to all of the extended fam that came out to cheer us on. Your support is always appreciated, as well as the good wishes that we get all the way from Texas and Ecuador!!

This weekend the majority of the Chumados, plus some, will be heading to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for some sun, fun and general Chumado behavior.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend Everyone, and God Bless America!

Everyone had a great time, minus the fact that the pollen was out of control. The food was deeelish and the cake and ice cream were even better! Here are a few pictures from the day:
