Announcement
It wasn't actually the day the League opened. And it was more than a little blustery. But that didn't prevent the Nashoba Valley Veterinary Hospital Mustangs from once again proving that not only can they play the game at a high level, but they are champions at throwing a BBQ. The Mustangs hosted the Opening Day BBQ as champs for the third year in a row. And they didn't disappoint.
Mixed in there was also some softball.
