1987 held at Garland, Texas.
Champion – Empress Chili, Cincinnati, Ohio (67-20)
Runner Up – Hub Chrysler Plymouth-South, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
After Hub Chrysler defeated Empress Chili 16-0 in the losers bracket, the Cincinnati club had to come back and then beat Hub Chrysler twice, which they did. For the first time in USSSA Women’s World Series history, a player not on the winning team was named MVP. As a matter of fact, she was not on the runner-up team either. But Sue Kozoil of Steele’s Sports made such an impact on the teams, players and officials with her pure athleticism, that it was an obvious choice.
- MVP – Sue Kozoil, Steele’s (.700, 11 HR)
- Batting Leader – Sue Kozoil, Steele’s – .700
- HR Leader – Sue Kozoil, Steele’s – 11
- Defensive MVP – N/A
