2007 held at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Champion: Armed Forces, Washington, D.C.
Runner Up: Juice, Houston, Texas

The 2007 ASA Women’s Open Slow Pitch National Championship had a patriotic feel as the red, white and blue of the All Armed Forces team captured the championship.

The Armed Forces all played tremendous softball to over shadow an incredible hitting performance by Juice’s Christan Dowling, who hit some of the longest balls ever hit by a Woman softball player.

  • Batting Leader – Christan Dowling, Juice (14-19, 3 HR, 13 RBI) – .737
