In Chula Vista, a community of supporters rallied at 3N1 Sports Bar & Grill to watch the game and cheer on the team.<\/p>\n
Fans were proud of Sweetwater Valley Little League for its run at the Little League World Series despite its elimination after a 12-2 loss to Phenix City, Alabama.<\/p>\n
Many supporters kept a close eye on the scoreboard throughout the game, hoping for a different outcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor them to win, for them to win it all and for James to hit a home run or a triple,\u201d Emilio Inzunza said. \u201cWe\u2019re down three and it\u2019s the third inning.”<\/p>\n
\u201cExcited and nervous for the team because they’re down in the third inning 7-1,\u201d Luca Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDisappointed but still got faith,” Bryson Marx said.<\/p>\n
Although the team could not pull through, some expressed admiration for the journey that got the team this far.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been really fun just watching a lot of people that I know go up and play on the big screen,” Clark Volkening said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I see them play, I feel like I\u2019m going to play against them one day and I feel like I\u2019m going to be in Williamsport one day,” Arturo Lopez Jr said.<\/p>\n
Instead of a win, the kids went home with something irreplaceable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIncredible memories that will last a lifetime,” Diana Godfrey said. <\/p>\n
Ten percent of the proceeds from the watch party were donated to the players for travel expenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Chula Vista, a community of supporters rallied at 3N1 Sports Bar & Grill to watch the game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":441052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[34643,9974,74,84,76,75],"class_list":["post-441051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-bonita","tag-chula-vista","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-county","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
