1968 ASA Women’s Major Fast Pitch Nationals

1968 / ASA / ASA Women's Major Fast Pitch
October 30, 1968

1968 held at Stratford, Connecticut.

Champion – Raybestos Brakettes, Stratford, Connecticut (69-6)
Runner Up – Orange Lionettes, Orange, California

Bertha Tickey, who retired after the 1967 National, came back in 1968 to pitch one last year. She only pitched two games, but made them memorable.

In the fist game she hurled, she pitched a 8-0 perfect game and struck out 14 batters, 11 of them in succession to start the game.

In her next and last game in her illustrious career, she pitched a 13 inning no-hitter in the winner’s bracket final to beat Fresno 1-0. Donna Hebert doubled in Donna Lopiano with the games winning run in the bottom of the 13th inning. Tickey struck out 19 batters in the game. She finished the tournament with a 2-0 record, pitched 20 innings, struck out 33 batters, walked none and gave up no hits.

What an incredible way to end a career. For the second straight year, the Brakettes ran the table, going 6-0. They did not give up a run until the final game. They surrendered 10 hits in 6 games and struck out 76 in 48 innings. In the past 2 years, their pitching staff has been 12-0, 11 by shutout. They have struck out 151 batters in 91 innings. They only surrendered 17 hits and 1 run, which was unearned.

The Women’s Pitching Award would forever be known as the Bertha Tickey Pitching Award.

Escue had to win 4 straight games on the final day to claim the crown, they eliminated defending champ, Ridge Maintenence 8-7, then had to play the tough Carolina Rockets, which they did (2-1) in 8 innings.

Now they had the task of defeating a hot Carter’s Rebels team from Florida. Then went out and defeated the Rebels 9-6 and then again 6-4 for the title as Gloria Hill came through with a clutch 2-run single to give Escue the lead in the top of the 7th inning and eventual winning margin, 6-4.

The teams national record in the 1960s was 29-5. it took a good young team like Ridge Maintenance to defeat the Cincinnati squad. They did so by defeating the defending champs 6-4 in the winner’s bracket final and then 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.
