MEDIA, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — It was a win for Media, Delaware County in the Little League World Series as they came out on top 5-3 against Gray, Maine. Fans gathered to watch their team at State Street Pub in Media.
The Little League World Series put Media in a difficult position after a loss to Texas on Wednesday. On Saturday, it was win or go home against the New England team.
Team alumnus Brendan Richardi was among the fans at the pub and explained what they would need to do to win.
“Starting with fourteen straight wins [then] losing that first game … some teams don’t know how to respond, some teams kind of let that control them and they go out and lose again, or other teams respond.”
