2013 NCAA Women’s College World Series

2013 held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 31 – June 6.


Champion – Oklahoma Sooners (57-4)
Runner Up – Tennessee Lady Vols (52-12)


Lauren Chamberlain rounded first base waiting, wondering and praying even that her long drive would be a home run and not just a foul ball.

When third-base umpire Christie Cornwell raised her right hand and signaled that it was a home run, she thrust both arms into the air and ran around the bases into a celebration at home plate.

Chamberlain’s two-run home run in the bottom of the 12th inning lifted top-seeded Oklahoma to a 5-3 win against Tennessee on Monday night in Game 1 of the Women’s College World Series finals. It was her 30th of the season, tying for the most in the nation this season.

“I really couldn’t believe it,” Chamberlain said. “It was awesome.”

The Sooners capitalized on a dropped pop-up to rally from three runs down in the 11th after Tennessee’s Madison Shipman broke a scoreless tie with a three-run home run off of national player of the year Keilani Ricketts (35-1).

Ellen Renfroe (19-5) was able to match Ricketts until the end, striking out 13 for seventh-seeded Tennessee (52-11). She threw 180 pressure-packed pitches, eight less than Ricketts.

It ended up as the longest game in the championship round since 1984, when UCLA beat Texas A&M 1-0 in 13 innings back when a single game decided the NCAA softball title.

2013 ASA Men’s Super Slow Pitch Nationals

2013 at Midway Stadium in St. Paul and Nieman Sports Complex in Minneapolis, MN on August 21-24.


Champion – H. Auto/Easton, Le Sueur, Minnesota
Runner Up – Sonny’s Softball Club, Casper, Wyoming


H. Auto/Easton claimed the first Super Slow Pitch title since 2003 as they blasted past Sonny’s in the Championship Game at the ASA Super Slow Pitch National Championship. Held at the historic Midway Stadium, H. Auto/Easton combined for 10 HR, including 3 from tournament MVP Brian Wegman, and 27 hits to defeat Sonny’s 29-14 in five innings. Sonny’s scored first after Jeremy Davis reached on a throwing error by the second baseman. Needing just eight runs in the bottom of the 5th inning to claim the run-rule victory, H, Auto/Easton did just that as they combined for two home runs and seven hits. After 2 runs had scored, Kevin Bazat banged out a 2-run double. Then with two runners on, Bryson Baker hit a 3-Run HR to clear the bases. With no outs and no runners on, Brian Wegman hit a solo shot to end the game after five, with H. Auto/Easton taking the 29-14 win.

This marks the first time since 2003 that a Champion has been named in the Super Slow Pitch Division. The first Men’s Super Slow Pitch National Championship took place in 1981 in Burlington, N.C., where Howard’s/ Western Steer of Denver, NC claimed the inaugural Championship and Hall of Fame member Rick “The Crusher” Scherr took home the MVP title.

Throughout the 22-year existence of the Super division, 12 teams were crowned champions, with Ritch’s Superior (Windsor Locks, CT) and Steele’s Silver Bullets (Grafton, OH) leading the pack with 4 championships apiece.

The Batting Champion was Donavan Prokraka of Rip City/DeMarini (.800). Dale Brundardt of RipCity/DeMarini and Bryce Oliveira of Sonny’s shared the Home Run title with 7 HR.

H, Auto had earlier sent Sonny’s into the losers bracket with a 22-20 win and then Sonny’s came back in the loser’s bracket final as a walk off home run secured Sonny’s a spot in the Championship Game as they came out with the 20-18 win over Rip City/DeMarini. Trailing by six as they came to bat in the bottom of the 7th, costly errors by the Rip City defense and 2 HR by Sonny’s set up the championship game.


  • MVP – Brian Wegman, H. Auto/Easton
  • HR Leaders – Dale Brundardt, Rip City/DeMarini – 7
  • HR Leaders – Bryce Oliveira, Sonny’s – 7
  • Batting Leader – Donavan Prokraka, Rip City/DeMarini – .800
