1994 held at Salem, Virginia.


Champion – Cannan’s Illusion, San Antonio, Texas
Runner Up – Papa John’s, Louisville, Kentucky


Cannan’s Illusions, after a tough runnerup finish last year, won the Championship this year with a 7-3 title game victory. Sandy Mader’s 3 hits each drove in a run to lead the Cannan’s offense. Everyone in attendance was waiting for the big matchup between Cannan’s and Lady Blue for the Championship, but that never materialized. Cannan’s played Lady Blue in the semi-final of the winner’s bracket and smoked them 20-3. Lady Blue dropped down to the Loser’s Bracket and had to watch as Papa John’s caught fire and eliminated Empress Chili 7-6 and then upset Lady Blue 10-9 and then Leaverne’s Roadrunners in the lowers bracket finals 6-3 to make it to the finals.
