Fieldcrest Hornets, Worthville, NC
In the first final game, Hornets Peggy Andrews pitched 6 2/3 inning of a
perfect game before giving up consecutive singles to Omaha's Marcia Lynk,
Sid Sindt and Jan McCunn to tie the score at 1-1. The Hornets won the game
in the 9th inning on Barbara Thacker's single and eventually scored on Peggy
Andrews fielder's choice to win the game 2-1. The Hornets eliminated last
year's champ (Dana Gardens 8-5) and runner-up (Rutenschrorer 6-1) along the
way to the final.
In the Final game, Joy Driever's double plated 2 runs that gave Art's the
3-1 lead they would never relinquish. MVP Barbara Kelley of Art’s Aces
showed her pitching dominance by hurling 3 shutouts and giving up only 6
runs in 7 games, including a victory over defending champ Dana Gardens 2-1,
this after Dana Gardens just scored 65 runs in its previous two games in
45-0 and 20-7 victories. Peggy Andrews threw a 3-hitter in the championship
game but still lost 3-1, as Hornets got 11 hits, but only 1 run as they left
too many players on base.. Due to rain, they played 5 games straight
with only 10 minute breaks.

shutouts and giving up only 6 runs in 7 games)

----------------------------
Dana Gardens, Cincinnati, OH
Dana Gardens defeated Publix, from Lakeland, FL to win their 6th game of the
tournament. They needed to win the 7th and 8th to win it all. It wasn't
meant to be. The Best Women's Slow Pitch team ever assembled that previously
won National Championships in 1957 and finished 3rd in 1958. Then in 1962,
started a string of excellence that would have them win National Titles in
1962, 1963 and 1964. Their record was 14-0. In 1965, they finished 5th, but
came back in 1966 to go 7-1 and capture the title once again. This year, 2nd
place is the best they could do (6-2 record). The teams national record in
the 1960s was 30-5. it took a good young team like Ridge Maintenance
to defeat the Cincinnati squad. They did so by defeating the defending
champs 4-3. In the final game, Ridge scored 3 runs in the 4th inning to take
a 4-1 lead they would never relinquish. The Cincinnati club came back and
scored 2 runs in the 7th inning, but fell just short in the 4-3 loss. Ida Jean Hopkins was named MVP for
her exceptional play and leadership. This tournament was so balanced, that
only one team placed more then one player on the all tournament team.
The championship team, Ridge Maintenance from Cleveland had one player on
the team, MVP Ida Jean 'Hoppy' Hopkins.

---------------
Armed Forces, USA (West)
SCORES: Long Haul/Enough Said 10-2, 16-11, 9-7 - (3 games to 0)
It was a show down between the 2004 Women’s Open champion and the 2005
Women’s Open champion at the 2006 Hooters Championship Series. Enough Said
swept the Armed Forces during the 2004 Women’s Open championship but it was
the Armed Forces who swept the Yard Dawgs in 2005 to capture their first
championship series. Long Haul/Enough Said took a commanding 2-0 lead in the
series on Friday winning their opener 10-2 and finishing the night with a
16-11 victory. It looked as if it might be another blow out in game three as
Long Haul took a commanding 6-0 lead in the first inning but the Armed
Forces battled back. Solid defense held Long Haul scoreless during the next
innings and the Armed Forces managed to score three in the second, two in
the fourth and a run in the fifth to tie the game 6-6 in the top of the
fifth. Long Haul responded with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to take
the lead once again and added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth
inning. The Armed Forces managed to plate only one run in the top of the
seventh inning and for the second time they were swept by Enough Said in the
Hooters Championship Series. Women’s Open MVP Cara Coughenour came through
in a big way in game three going 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI.
During the championship series Coughenour was 7-for-11 (.626) with two
doubles, a home run and eight RBI. Long Haul/Enough Said finished 66-2 on
the season.

feel as the red, white and blue of the All Armed Forces team captured the
championship. After Juice of Houston, Texas, forced the if necessary game by

Force rebounded in the final “if” game to win 13-7. Shannika Taylor of Fort
Huachuca, AZ, was named the tournament MVP for Armed Forces. The Armed Forces all
played tremendous softball to over shadow an incredible hitting performance
by Juice's Christan Dowling, who hit some of the longest balls ever hit by a
Woman softball player.

Armed Forces, Washington, DC
Hawks/Miss Kitty’s, Coming from the loser’s bracket, Hawks/Miss Kitty’s
captured the 2008 Women’s Open National Championship in a 6 -5 walk-off
decision over the Armed Forces. It was a long day for the winning team as
they played five games tallying a 4-1 record. The Hawks forced the
“if” game five when they skunked Armed Forces 10-0 in game four. In the
final championship win, the Hawks were led by catcher and tournament MVP
Sirene Johnson who led the way going 2-for-4 in the final game with three
RBI. Armed Forces put up a great fight with four batters each contributing
two hits. But they couldn’t hold the lead as Hawks/Miss Kitty’s scored two
runs in the bottom of the seventh for the eventual walk-off win. “This
team has a great group of talent, but we just needed to pull together
our mental game today,” said tournament MVP Sirene Johnson. “And that we
did. We lost to Armed Forces twice and we really needed to combine our
mental focus with our physical talent to win this. We changed our defense
due to their base hits in the game before and we finally started hitting the
ball. Our team never gave up! And we love Oklahoma City!” The home run
champion went to Hawks/Miss Kitty’s Ruby Nugent while the batting champion
went to extra hitter and head coach of the Hawks/Miss Kitty, Christan
Dowling.

Derby Girls, Seattle, WA
After Enough Said defeated the US Armed Forces 7-5, the Derby Girls
eliminated the Armed Forces 18-15 in the Losers Bracket Final to get a shot
at the Championship against Enough Said. But, it wasn't meant to be. Despite
the power of Derby Girls' Christan Dowling who cracked 5 HRs and had 17 RBIs
in the tournament, Enough Said put the Derby Girls away with a 12-4
Championship game win. Enough Said went undefeated with a 3-0 record to
claim the ASA Women’s Open National Championship title defeating Derby
Girls/Combat (3-2), 12-4, in the title game. Enough Said worked its way
through the winner’s bracket with two wins against Derby Girls, the
Championship victory and 18-7 victory, and a 7-5 win over Armed Forces.
Enough Said earned its spot in the Championship Game after defeating Armed
Forces 7-5. Armed Forces and Derby Girls/Combat then met up to avoid
elimination and earn a spot in the title game. Derby Girls staved off
elimination defeating the Armed Forces 18-15. The Derby Girls took an early
11-2 lead in the first and would hold the lead the entire game. The Armed
Forces wouldn’t go down without a fight scoring four runs in the top of the
seventh to threaten but the Derby Girls held their lead for the win. Misty
Smith of the Derby Girls was 2-for-3 with four RBI to lead the team. With a
victory, the Derby Girls moved on to face Enough Said for the Championship
game. Enough Said and Derby Girls both put a run up in the first with Enough
Said scoring three more in the third to take the lead of which they would
never give up. It looked like the Derby Girls would cut the lead in the
sixth when they loaded up the bases. However a fly out left runners
stranded. Enough Said scored three unanswered runs in the top of the seventh
to take away a 12-4 victory and National Championship performance for the
second consecutive year. Nikki Hall, who was later named the Batting
Champion, was ecstatic about the weekend and very thankful to her teammate,
coach and the ASA. Hall finished the tournament 9-for-11 with six runs
scored and five RBI, hitting .818.
