OC Batbusters Legacy Maroon (Anaheim, CA)
The Batbusters arrive after impressive wins at both the NIT Fireworks/Sparkler and the Alliance Super Cup Qualifier. Their deep pitching staff has fueled a successful season. One built on timely hitting and consistent execution with Hattie Macumber, Rylee Thurmond, and Jaylene Jimenez leading the charge.

Oklahoma Athletics Ones National (OKC)
Few teams embrace competition like the Oklahoma Athletics. Their formula has been simple all season: elite pitching, airtight defense, and timely offense. A core group that’s grown up playing together brings exceptional chemistry, while Maddyson Murray (P/3B), Brinley Conrad (SS), Brylee Ridley (OF), and Beau Baker (C/Utility), Avery Patrick (MIF), Bentleigh Wood (OF) headline a well-balanced roster capable of changing games on both sides of the ball. Maddy Murray comes in with 10 HRs and an ERA of .660. Brylee Ridley has been on fire at the plate all year with a .531 BA and a OBP of .600. Ryleigh Fixico, Jenna Poage, Maddy Murray, and Brynn Geisinger have a combined ERA of 1.98 in the circle.

ai Bandits Breer Rabb (Kent, WA)
Balanced, disciplined, and resilient, the ai Bandits bring an offense that can beat opponents with both power and speed while pairing it with dependable defense. Jaycee Kemp, Grace Boekenoogen, Kenzie Barrington, and Manamea Laban lead a roster that has embraced high-level competition throughout the season and won’t back down from a scrappy fight. Depth in the roster includes a long list of first and second team high-school honors.

Texas Glory Gold (McKinney, TX)
The defending 2025 Super Cup Finals champions return to Colorado with the target squarely on their backs. Texas Glory Gold combines power, speed, and one of the deepest versatile rosters in the field, backed by a team-first culture that has become their trademark. They’ll look to defend their title behind standout players Gabby Bright, Tatum Peacock, Natalie Olivarez, and Lila Peters.

Midwest Speed National Schweich (Farmington, MN)
Midwest Speed has earned its reputation after taking on a tough schedule that’s spanned the season thus far. Their team-first mentality has created a culture where everyone feels valued, and that chemistry has been attributed to the foundation of their success. Their roster features four pitchers with contrasting styles, defensive versatility across the field, and an offense capable of producing throughout the lineup. Don’t be surprised if you see the names of Annika Antonson, Marley Kasay, Kenzi Benson, Hannah Rushing, or Kendall Johnson pop up regularly as they’ve been especially hot heading into Colorado. Johnson being one of their most dangerous hitters, consistently producing at the plate.

Team Pennsylvania Hall/Madison (PA)
Representing the Northeast, Team Pennsylvania enters the Super Cup Finals looking to challenge some of the nation’s most established programs. They’ll have the opportunity to prove they belong among the country’s best on one of the biggest stages of the summer.

Corona Angels Tyson (CA)
Championship pedigree follows Corona Angels Tyson into this year’s event. After capturing the 2024 Super Cup Finals title and finishing third at the 2025 Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series, they’re once again positioned as one of the division’s top contenders with the experience to make another championship push.

Impact Gold National Holmes (TX)
Impact Gold National Holmes has already proven it can compete among the nation’s elite, finishing ninth at last year’s Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series. With another year of development behind them, they’ll look to build on that success and make noise in Colorado.

With defending champions, former title winners, nationally ranked organizations and hungry teams all sharing the same bracket, the 14U division promises to deliver high-level competitive softball. Every inning will matter, every matchup carries weight and by Sunday’s final out, only one team will emerge from Colorado with a coveted Super Cup trophy.
