The team cleared the last hurdle at the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game in Bristol, Connecticut.

Trevor Skowronek hit a walk-off, two-run home run in the seventh inning.

It was the team’s only hit of the game.

The Media Little League will play in the 20-team Little League World Series beginning Wednesday, Aug. 16, in Williamsport.

Levittown was the last team from Pennsylvania to win the World Series back in 1960. In total, Pennsylvania little league teams have made it to the World Series 22 times since the series started in 1947.

Bradley celebrated with his team Friday night at a pizza and soda bash in a Connecticut hotel.
