SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Penn. — Despite a loss at the Little League World Series on Sunday, the Hamilton West Side baseball team still became the first little league team in the Buckeye state to make it to the championship game.
The Hamilton West Side boys fell 5-2 to Michigan.
Friends, family and fans cheered on the team from Municipal Brew Works in Hamilton. The crowd at the brewery was large, with every member glued to the television screens.
"These kids are role models," said Melissa Sauceda, a fan at the brewery. "Not everybody gets to go to the World Series and this is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for any kid."
Although the game didn't end the way the team or fans hoped, folks gathered to cheer on the team said it's still inspiring they made it to the championship game.
Hamilton West Side defeated South Dakota Saturday to advance to the finals. Hamilton (West Side) has been to the Little League World Series four times prior to this year, but has never won more than one game in South Williamsport, Penn.
OH-IO!
Parents and fans of Hamilton’s West Side #LLWS team are taking over a pizza place here in Williamsport, PA. They’re about to drive over to the stadium.
“Why not us,” one parent says.
Why not Hamilton? No matter win or lose—theyve made the Tri-State proud. @WCPO pic.twitter.com/ajuaWMr5jx

Hamilton is not throwing away their shot.
They’ve had a rally in every inning! These kids are fun to watch. @WCPO

That hurts. Gut punch. Hamilton fans go from cheers to silence.
Leaving three runners on base, and a base running error foils what could’ve been a heckuva inning. @WCPO

FINAL: Michigan 5, Hamilton 2.
What a ride. What a run. @WCPO
