NEWTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) — Council Rock Newtown advanced to the next round of the Little League World Series on Saturday.

They did not allow the other team from Salem, New Hampshire, to score a single run during the weekend game.

The Green Parrot in Newtown, Bucks County, was packed as area residents celebrated the victory.

“Our nephew Gavin, number 18, is on the team. We are here to cheer him on and support him,” said Kerri Caudill of Yardley.

The seats were full and all eyes were on the televisions when the game started at 7 p.m.

“I grew up in this program. The community always rallies around this team, it’s a great group of kids. I’m still coaching in the league, so to see these guys here on the big stage – it’s unparalleled,” explained Erick Miller.

Whether in Williamsport or Newtown, the people were always there to support the boys in their performance against New Hampshire.

“These kids have played together for years. The community has come together, there are special t-shirts for the watch party. We hope these kids will join in the excitement and bring the win back to Newtown,” said Sara Zorich of Newtown.

Council Rock Newtown lost 9-0 to a team from Texas on Thursday.

So the pressure was great to win or be eliminated.

It didn’t take long for Newtown to score some runs and take the lead.

“We are proud of him, proud of all of them. It’s unbelievable, we cry when we think about it,” Caudill explained.

The team will next face Washington on Sunday at 1 p.m.

“I think they have the potential to make it to the end. I know the determination of these players and the coach. They have a chance to make it to the end,” Miller said.
