The 12U Potomac Grays entered the season ending ODBL Championship tournament looking forward to squeezing as much baseball out of the weekend as possible, given the many rainouts throughout the fall.

The two Saturday games determined the seeding for Sunday, with only the top 8 seeds qualifying to play for the Championship. The first game was against the Virginia Generals, who had beaten the Grays already twice this season. However, the Generals had not yet faced David Siegel and his superb pitching. Siegel struck out 12 batters in 4 2/3 innings and generally blew the ball past every batter.
