SIS/Thunder/Miken/Worth/Louisville won all 4 of their games in the winner's bracket of the 2017 Nationwide Conference USSSA Championships defeating 4 Major teams in a row (Newbreed, Resmondo, Dan Smith, and SIS/Scene) to win the tournament. This was the first ever slowpitch event held at the new USSSA home at Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Florida! SIS/Thunder knocked off Dan Smith in the winner's bracket finals 21-15 on Saturday afternoon and Smash It/Scene/TDB/Miken/Worth 15-11 in the finals.

Link to the brackets and results
1st Place in the "Open" Last Chance Qualifier was Precision/3rd Street/GBrand/Easton
Precision won the "Open" division of the Conference Championships and went 4-0. They knocked off TDB/TMSports, OA Apparel, Xtreme in the winner's finals Saturday, and TDB/TMSports in the championship Sunday morning. TDB/TMSports/Midwest White Tail Adventures/Miken was the highest non-qualified team and won the berth as the #17 seed to the USSSA Major World Series. TDB knocked off berth rival Classic Glass by 4 runs deep in the loser's bracket and then rattled off 3 more wins to finish 2nd.
The new USSSA home facility in Viera, Florida was spectacular.
The 325-365-385-365-325 fields played surprisingly long with very low scores for the most part.
DW, I assume the USSSA did not keep stats for the Conference Championships. In the past, some years, yes, some years, no and some years, partial. Just asking, Thank You
