'Bayonne vs. Everybody.' Bayonne defeats CT to advance to the Little League World Series

Well, tonight is the night for the Bayonne Little Leaguers. They need just one more win and they're on their way to the Little League World Series. Standing in their way is a team from Darien, playing in their home state of Connecticut. News 12 New Jersey's Tom Krasnowski reports the Jersey boys are going to have a loud cheering section up north tonight. They're known as the fighting bees. But this year, a new slogan came to define Bayonne Little League. We're just ready to take on the world. The 12-and-under team is one step away from the Little League World Series. The last battle? The Metro Region Championship in Bristol, Connecticut, against Darien Little League of Connecticut. That's their home field. Their fans have been very, very good supporting them. They've had a good turnout. So, Bayonne put out the call to bring their own cheering section north, filling three charter buses with 150 fans and league staff to represent Hudson County on the road. A cheering section ushered out in style. This year is Bayonne's first-ever state championship. Should they win Friday, this will be their first appearance in the Little League World Series. It's an underdog spirit that's become Bayonne's rallying cry, Bayonne versus everybody. People think of us as a small town in Hudson County, no real respect, so we always feel like we're the underdog. So that's where that kind of came from. After beating Blackwood for the Garden State crown last week, Bayonne has beat New York and Connecticut by a combined score of 20-4. The league president is impressed with how they've handled their newfound fame. It's interesting. They're kids. They are being treated like rock stars. So it's been awesome. And they're handling it very well. They're very focused on tonight's game. One win away from another banner at Marty Reed Memorial Stadium. In Bayonne, Tom Krasnowski, News 12 New Jersey.
