The team lost the first game 8 - 4 to Tennessee and the second 5 - 2 to a very good Florida team from Tampa. District 4 came back to beat West Virginia 11 - 6 in the last game of pool play, but was unable to move on as West Virginia and Florida competed in the Semi Finals from Pool A when a three way tie for second in the pool came down to a formula where they were two runs short for the tournament.
