\nUSA Softball Announces 2007 Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s National Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fast pitch game to fans who attend the World Cup and to give the USA Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s National Team an opportunity to play on American soil. This will be the first time an International Softball Federation (ISF) men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s World Championship in Midland, Mich.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are very excited to be hosting the inaugural KFC American Challenge Series in Oklahoma City this summer,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Radigonda. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is a very unique opportunity for softball fans to get to see both their national teams play in one location. Men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fast pitch is a very exciting sport to watch and I have no doubt fans are going to be treated to some great action.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
