USA Softball Announces 2007 Men’s National Team

The KFC American Challenge Series, which will be held in conjunction with the KFC World Cup of Softball, was developed by the ASA to help expose the men’s fast pitch game to fans who attend the World Cup and to give the USA Men’s National Team an opportunity to play on American soil. This will be the first time an International Softball Federation (ISF) men’s fast pitch event has been hosted in the U.S. in more than a decade. The last event held in the U.S. was the 1996 ISF Men’s World Championship in Midland, Mich.

“We are very excited to be hosting the inaugural KFC American Challenge Series in Oklahoma City this summer,” said Radigonda. “This is a very unique opportunity for softball fans to get to see both their national teams play in one location. Men’s fast pitch is a very exciting sport to watch and I have no doubt fans are going to be treated to some great action.”

The players selected to represent the United States this season as part of the 2007 USA Softball Men’s National Team are:

Gregg Cascaes (Apple Valley, Minn.)
Frank DeGroat, Jr. (Ringwood, N.J.)
Chris DeLarwelle (Appleton, Wis.)
Nate Devine (Merced, Calif.)
Lucas Goring (St. Paul, Minn.)
B.J. Hunhoff (Harrisburg, S.D.)
Chris Hunt (Whittier, Calif.)
