Huddled in their California hotel lobby, the 14 boys representing the Northwest in the 2022 Little League World Series gave KIRO 7′s Lauren Donovan a postgame debrief. Coaches were there too, among them Scott Santam.
“We play the game as hard as we can until we’re told not to,” Santam said. “We really preach to our kids ‘you run the bases until they tell you to stop.’” This year the team’s motto is “all grit, no quit.” Santam said he believes channeling that attitude has carried the boys this far.Joel Johnson, president of Bonney Lake Sumner Little League, believes this is the first time a Pierce County team will compete in the tournament.
“The community in our local league is what started all this,” Johnson said. “The support of the entire region was felt all the way down here in San Bernadino.” Back home, supporters have been on the edge of their seats. Brian Purdy, owner of Purdy’s Public House in Sumner, estimates 150 fans came out to his establishment to watch Thursday’s game.The team departs California at 7 a.m. Saturday. They play their first game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, at 4 p.m. on Aug. 17.
