2018 USA Softball Super National tournament preview!

USA Softball Super National Championship

September 27-28

Ridgeland, Mississippi

Freedom Ridge Park

The USA Softball Super Nationals start at 9 AM CENTRAL time on Friday September 28th in Ridgeland, Mississippi at the Freedom Park softball fields with 2 games.  

The favorites are the defending champs WC Monsta and H Auto (aka Resmondo).  T's 13 takes a shot at H Auto first on Friday at 9 AM CENTRAL time and Team Racks gets Comatose a Wisconsin A/B team.  The entire tournament will now be played on Friday because of the Thursday games getting rained out.  If they avoid the upsets which could definitely happen then H Auto and WC Monsta will mostly likely meet 3 times for the Super title.  WC Monsta is actually favored in this event in my opinion as they have had H. Auto's number this year but this is why we play the games because we never know.  Looking at the rosters T's 13 and Racks have great players top to bottom but in USA Softball in recent years those types of all star teams have not been winning as often.

The weather looks rainy and warm and the teams get 16 Home Runs on 300 foot fences so the games could go very long unless run rules are met.   

TIMES on the Bracket are CENTRAL!
