A big showdown underway as we speak.
The boys from Media Little League are one win away from heading to the World Series in Williamsport.
Right now the team is facing Washington D.C. in the Regional Championship and things are getting a bit wild.
Action News reporter Sharifa Jackson is live in Media where residents are cheering on the boys from a far bottom of the 7th here.
Sharifa, still no score in extra innings.
You know people they are crossing their fingers, crossing their toes.
You can see a lot of people are on their feet because this is the final moments of the game.
They say they are pretty nervous, don't know which way that it will go.
But again they are here supporting the team, cheering them on from afar.
And of course they've been supporting them from the very beginning.
The party is on at Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant in Media where people came to watch the Media Little League take on Northwest D.C.
A trip to the Little League World Series is on the line.
Thousands of teams began this trek at the beginning of the season, only a few are left.
The city of Media and people all across the Delaware Valley are beaming with pride.
It's just been such good energy throughout the entire season.
Watching this 12 year old team, they have not lost once.
The parents are amazing, the children are amazing.
They are just the most energetic, cohesive team.
This is the first state championship for the team since 1957.
The team of 12 year olds has been on a winning streak.
And the entire area is cheering them on and watching them.
Supporters who say win or lose, they are just proud the team is represented so well.
We've been following this team for the last several months.
It's been amazing for the community, media.
Hoping that they can pull out this win, this game that is going on right now.
We're in the final moments of the game, but to talk about the impact here in Media.
The number of bars all packed to support these boys as they play today.
And the proceeds from this here bar in Iron Hill, it goes straight back to the team.
Final moments of the game, everybody is on pins and needles watching.
We hope that they can pull off a big win live in Media.
Sharifah Jackson, Channel 6 Action News, Rick, Sarah.
