Bucks County baseball players punch ticket to Little League World Series

This was the can’t-miss youth baseball game of the season for people from Bucks County and beyond.

The Council Rock Newtown Little League baseball team has advanced to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

CR Newtown beat Washington, D.C., 5-1 in a Mid-Atlantic Region final marked by rain delays in Bristol, Connecticut. The game was broadcast on the ESPN networks.

With an undefeated record of 18-0 — the longest winning streak of any team around the county — the team is packed with talent, long-lasting friendships and pride.

After defeating Maryland 11-1 on Tuesday, CR Newton faced the team from Washington, D.C. in the final of the Mid-Atlantic Region Tournament. The game in Bristol, Connecticut was a rematch as CR Newtown beat the D.C. team 13-1 last weekend.
