The City of Warner Robins gave their Little League World Champions a welcome home they'll never forget.
Hundreds of well wishers turned out to welcome the Warner Robins American Little League team back home. Hundreds of friends, family and fans waited for the boys to arrive. Nine shirtless men led the crowd in singing, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
The team arrived at their home ball field in a tour bus, led by a police escort.
Warner Robins resident, Charles Smith, attended all the games. His son is a coach, and his 11 year-old grandson, Hunt Smith, is on the team. He says he knew the boys had a good shot at winning.
"I felt like we could play with any of them. Just how the game goes is whether you make it or not. I think we surprised a lot of people up there."
The team beat Japan on Sunday to take the title. The city will continue its celebration on Saturday with a parade and rally.
