Women's Major Softball |
Due to 2007 and 2008 Women's Major
Nationals both ending on controversial rain stoppages, Teams did not
attend ASA Major Nationals anymore. The Women's Major Softball (WMS)
Association was started and they have held a Women's Major National
Championship each year in Stratford, CT ... home of the Brakettes.
The Women's Major teams started attending those events. |
