2020 USA Softball Super and ‘AA’ Nationals tournament preview!
USA Softball Super and 'AA' National Championship
August 21-23, 2020
Hendersonville, Tennessee
Drakes Creek Park
The USA Softball Super Nationals start at 9:00 AM EASTERN time on Friday, August 21st in Hendersonville, Tennessee's at Drakes Creek Park. The tournament has 5 teams . The team list includes favorites H. Auto which is Brett Helmers team who have won the Super two years in a row. Monsta who has a lot of new players since their 2017 Super title team. Bad Draw has a team. And MPT has entered their first team in the Super. It looks like they are using Field #3 which is a baseball field this year as the main field and I believe it has a turf infield. All 9 or 10 games of the Super will be played on Friday. Saturday morning the first ever USA Softball 'AA' Nationals will begin with 8 teams and that tournament will end Sunday. Also on Saturday a stacked field of 18 Womens teams will play their USA National ending Sunday. I believe they are live streaming and keeping livescoring on gamechanger as well.
