Smashit/Thunder/Chose/Pure/RF/BD/TDB the #1 team in the nation went 7-1 and “double dipped” cinderella Nitro Circus/Kultch/Team 199/BRC (MD-TBD) 30-15 and 26-10 in the championship Sunday after Nitro beat Smashit 26-24 in the winner’s bracket finals Saturday night.  Smashit let each game sort of come to them as they knocked off their biggest challenger Monsta in both the semifinals and loser’s bracket finals.  There were 32 teams including 27 from Conference USSSA.  Monsta finished 3rd and WestPoint Softball (IN-A) who beat TLC, Cheap Suits, Proton, Precision, and 4With.com finished 4th!  The tournament was played in cool conditions with some rain on the 300 foot fields at McCaslin Park in Carol Stream, Illinois.

One of the great stories of the Chicago Major was the Rock Run/AllHustle/Silverback/Koval (IN-B) team that sent home Resmondo and MPT Rentals in back to back games Saturday!  Condensed game here.
