Bayonne Little League team advances to regional championship in Bristol

Bayonne Little League captured its first New Jersey state title in 75 years and is now competing in the Metro Regional tournament in Bristol, Connecticut. Following a commanding 8-2 victory and a 12-2 win against a New York team, Bayonne advances to face Darien, Connecticut, in the regional championship on Friday night. This marks a historic achievement for the community, as Bayonne teams have never participated in the Little League World Series despite having a league since 1951. Interested families and friends are adapting travel plans while the team bonds during their dorm stay in Bristol.
