Bayonne beats West Chester 3-1, stays in Little League World Series winners' bracket
WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania (WABC) -- The boys from Bayonne did it again on Friday night with a thrilling 3-1 win over East Side Little League from West Chester, Pennsylvania.
It doesn't matter who they played, though -- it's Bayonne vs. Everybody.
Bayonne's fans at O.J. Mac's made sure their boys in Williamsport, Pennsylvania could feel the love nearly 200 miles away. The watch party was brimming with Bayonne maroon.
Bayonne got on the board first in the bottom of the 2nd with men on second and third and one out, scoring on a wild pitch.
Then in the bottom of the 4th, Bayonne's Mason Rincon, arguably the biggest star in the Little League World Series, lifted one over the center field fence -- it would turn out to be an insurance run they would not need.
"I grew up here since fourth grade. It means the world to see these kids doing their thing. Repping is so great," said Rob Torres.
"Man, it's Bayonne versus everybody, baby! They're doing a great job. Gabe Garcia, what a great job, brother. Everybody doing a great job. Bayonne, New Jersey all day!" said Jerome Otis-Harris.
"Bayonne is a unified, tight town, and these kids exemplify that in the best way. And you know what, they're already winners -- they're already champions in our eyes. Just keep it going, keep that momentum going," Bar owner Owen McElroy said.
Bayonne will play Davenport Northwest on Sunday at 1 p.m. on ABC7.
Bayonne remains in the winner's bracket, forging ahead on their path to the Little League World Series Championship.
