Are youse ready for Delco? Suburban Philly team is headed to the Little League World Series

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The manager of the suburban Philadelphia Little League team that needed just one hit — a walk-off, two-run home run — to advance to the Little League World Series had the same question on his mind as anyone who has stepped foot in the home of WAWA convenience stores and wooder ice: Is the Little League World Series ready for Delco?

“I don’t think they know what’s coming,” said a laughing Tom Bradley, who leads the team from Media, Pennsylvania. “Delco is like it’s own little world. I don’t think they’re ready for this accent.”

The Media team, from about 20 miles southwest of Philly, defeated the team from Northwest Washington D.C., 2–0 on Friday in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game in Bristol, Connecticut. Trevor Skowronek’s two-run homer in the seventh inning was the only hit for Media in the game.
