While our RoughRiders had some good moments today, the games didn’t fall our way. Nice to finally get back out on the field, play some ball, shake off the rust, and debut our new hats, sponsored by Slammers!

Also great to get a group together to stop by Slammers post game for some cold beers and pizza. Love to have their continued support of this scrappy LGBTQ+ softball team! Back at it next week!

Catch the Slammers Rough Riders today at 10 and Noon for our Columbus Le***an and Gay Softball Association (CLGSA) Opening Day games! Busch Sports Park Field 1. If you can’t make it to the games, pop by our incredible sponsor, Slammers, after the games.

Happy Opening Day! Let’s Ride!

Hope springs eternal. Happy Opening Day, Columbus Le***an and Gay Softball Association (CLGSA)!

There are countless words in the English language, but maybe none as simple and perfect as “Play Ball!”

Happy Opening Day, Columbus!

Opening Ceremonies begin at 9:15. First games at 10. Sunday Funday at our sponsors after the final outs are made. Good luck to all of our teams and thanks to all of our sponsors, the City and umpires who make this league possible.
