The ’99 Virginia Crushers from Woodbridge started the week disappointed to learn that they would not be able to play up in 14U for the 2012 USSSA Blue-Gray Summer Shootout in Ellicott City, Md. due to an uneven number of teams in each age division. The Crushers understood the tournament directors need to even out the divisions for timely tournament play. Twenty six teams competed in the 12U division this year and even though the temperatures reached triple digits each day, the Crushers perspired and persevered to win the 12U Gold Championship by going 6-0-1.
