Staten Island little leaguers hold heads high after loss in Williamsport
Briefly

"As a kid, you're always watching the Little League World Series saying, 'Wow, I wish I could make it there,' said South Shore Little Leaguer Jake Romero."
"This is just a hardworking, blue-collar group, and just work, work, and practicing, two hours-a-day since June. June 6. Two hours a day, sometimes three, and, you know, we had to win the section. We had to win the city. The regional. And here we are," said Bob Laterza.
"It's just the leagues that are there. They all focus us," explained Bob Laterza, South Shore's manager.
"Baseball is a thing in my blood," Romero added. "I have two cousins in the majors and an uncle, so, you know, playing baseball and making it to the Little League World Series means a lot to me."
