We were all at home-stay over the Fourth of July. But to celebrate, those that were in close proximity were gathered together to contest the Slagball team of Brokopondo. Slagball is a sport created by the Surinamese. It is inspired by cricket and baseball. Only the women here play competitively. Take a look at the pictures for a quick idea.
I'm proud to announce that we WON. The score was 123 to 114. The point system is complicated and points are being subtracted and added basically at the same time. The coach/ref keeps track on a piece of paper and adds up the score at the end. I'm sure it is done differently when it isn't just a pick up game. This photo shows teammates getting to the home pole to score.
