Bayonne came back from an early 4-0 deficit to beat Connecticut
Bayonne's Little League team made history by reaching the Little League World Series for the first time in their city's history. The 12-year-old All Stars from Hudson County started the regional championship with a pair of victories in the Little League Metro Regional. Trailing 4-0 in the top of the first inning, Bayonne mounted a comeback three different times, finally tying the game 6-6 in the bottom of the fifth inning.
With a single by Jett Bridges, Bayonne took the lead, 7-6. Chase Klimkowski's pitching drove in an insurance run, and Mason Rincon's relief work sealed the game with a strikeout and two groundouts. The 8-6 final gave Bayonne the regional championship and sent them to the Little League World Series.
