Twelve teams qualified for the tournament. For the second straight year, the Buckingham boys went 5-0 in the state tournament to earn the right to represent Virginia in the World Series. This year, they went 2-2 in the World Series, becoming the first Buckingham team at any age level to ever win more than one World Series game.
