1992 ASA Women’s Major Fast Pitch Nationals

1992 held at Redding, California.

Champion – Raybestos Brakettes, Stratford, Connecticut (51-1)
Runner Up – Redding Rebels, Redding, California

The Rebels forced the extra game with Lori Sippel defeating the Brakettes 2-0.  Consecutive Singles by Dot Richardson, Trisha Popowski and Pat Dufficy accounted for the games only run in the 8th inning of the final championship game to give the Brakettes the title. Dufficy’s two out single scored Richardson who scored on a beautiful hook slide to just beat the throw. Earlier in the tournament, the Brakettes set a record by defeating a team from Washington DC 30-0. They hit 10 homeruns in the game to set a record for homers in a game also. Fernandez pitched the final, defeating Dee Dee Weiman of the Rebels. The Rebels defeated the Arizona Sunbirds 6-0 in the loser’s bracket final behind Michele Smith. The Brakettes defeated Smith and the Rebels 7-1 in the Winner’s bracket final behind Fernandez 3 hitter and 9 K. Once again, the Brakettes entered the ASA National Championship with an undefeated season record of 45-0.  They went 6-1 to finish up 51-1.

The Brakettes, at the end of their 46th season, has won 2465 games and lost only 278 games for a winning percentage of 90%. Since 1958, they have won 23 national championships and lost in the finals 10 times. So, in the last 35 years, there have only been two years where this team was not in the national championship game. These years were 1962, when they finished 3rd with a 4-2 record and in 1979, they were 17th with a 1-2 record. This is one of the greatest streaks in sports history.

Dee Dee Weiman (1-1) for the Rebels.

Lisa Longaker (3-1, Shutout) and Lori Harrigan 2-1, Shutout) pitched for the Commotion.

Barbara Reinalda and Cheri Kempf (0-1, lost a 2-0 game) also pitched for the Brakettes.
