WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania (WABC) — The boys from Bayonne did it again on Friday night with a thrilling win over East Side Little League from West Chester, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter who they played, though — it’s Bayonne vs. Everybody.<\/p>\n

\"News<\/p>\n

News Copter 7 was over Bayonne’s home baseball field where the team’s motto—“Bayonne Versus Everyone”—is spelled out in the outfield’s grass.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Bayonne got on the board first in the bottom of the 2nd with a man on second and third and one out, scoring on a wild pitch.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

Bar owner Owen McElroy says Bayonne exemplify the spirit of Bayonne in the best way.<\/p>\n

“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,” said McElroy.<\/p>\n

Bayonne will play Davenport Northwest on Sunday at 1 p.m. on ABC7.<\/p>\n

The final score was 3-1. With Friday’s win, Bayonne remains in the winner’s bracket, forging ahead on their path to the Little League World Series Championship.<\/p>\n
