Before their game against the Washington Nationals in the Little League Classic, the Philadelphia Phillies watched as the kids took over the show.
A Sunday afternoon game between the Metro Region representatives from Smithfield, Rhode Island and the Mid-Atlantic representatives from Media, Pennsylvania was watched by many members of the MLB team.
Cameras turned to the Phillies cheering and celebrating in the bottom of the fifth inning after the Pennsylvania team tied the game at 2-2.
Stars like Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber kept screaming as they watched the Philadelphia suburbs celebrate their achievement.
Unfortunately, that feeling was short-lived, as the Rhode Islanders won the game 7-2 and eliminated Pennsylvania from the tournament.

The Phillies then played in the Little League Classic in Williamsport and lost to the Nationals
It was an unfortunate result for the Keystone State team, as they played in a Little League World Series that has been home to the central Pennsylvania town of Williamsport since 1947.
The Media kids hoped to become the first Pennsylvania team to win the tournament since 1960.
When it was the turn of the adults, they too could not get a result – as the Phillies fell to the Nationals 4-3.
After Bryce Harper told the kids who lost to use their Williamsport experience as a stepping stone to something big, the slugger went 0-for-3 against his former team.
Trevor Williams pitched six shutout innings and the Nationals held off an inspired late Philly comeback to clinch the win and win the series for the weekend.
