East Bests West, 10-4, in U.S. National Championship Games

Nov. 1, 2020

Fourteen U.S. National Championship Games were held during the 2020 Senior Softball World Championships (SSWC).

The U.S. National Championship Game is the second leg of the Triple Grand Slam and takes place during seeding play at the SSWC, pitting the winners of the Eastern National Championships against the winners of the Western National Championships.

The Triple Grand Slam consists of winning the Eastern/Western National Championship, the U.S. National Championship Game, and the World Championship.

Because the U.S. National Game is a guaranteed seven-inning game, the winner earns the top seed in bracket play, while the loser takes the second seed.

Overall, teams from the East held a commanding 10-4 advantage over their Western counterparts in the games in 2020.
