Early Saturday afternoon, the Elmora Youth Little League team, from Elizabeth, N.J., received a little love from the Mets’ Todd Frazier, himself a former Little League star from New Jersey, when he retweeted a pregame message from the team’s Twitter account.

Greatness follows greatness, apparently.

Behind a strong pitching performance from J.R. Rosado and balanced hitting on Saturday night, Elmora topped the team from Haverstraw, N.Y., 19-4 in the Mid-Atlantic Regional final in Bristol, Conn. The win earned the Garden State kids their spot in the Little League World Series, which begins Thursday in Williamsport, Pa.

“It is very surreal for us right now,” said Elmora Youth manager Jairo Labrador. “It was definitely a goal we had in mind when the kids were 6 and 7 and we got them together.

“We saw something.”

Elmora jumped out early, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning, seven in the second and two in the third to lead 11-4, then put the game out of reach with eight runs in the sixth.

Rosado was outstanding on the mound, striking out 11 over 4 ¹/₃ innings, and at the plate, going 4-for-5 and scoring two runs. He received plenty of support, with Jayden Capindica and Yamil Soto each driving in four runs. For Haverstraw, Nick Becker and Gabriel Reyes each drove in a run.

“After batting practice, the coaches all looked at each other and said, ‘They are locked in,’ ” Labrador said. “That set the tone for how we played.”

Up next for Elmora is the opener at the LLWS, where they will face Oregon, the Northwest Region winner, at 8 p.m. Friday. Elmora goes in plenty confident.

“Our expectation is to compete and to go up there and win,” Labrador said. “We want to soak it up, but we are not there to just party — we want to go to the dance and dance with the pretty girl, too.”

And with the games broadcast on ESPN, Elmora can expect a few more followers, too.
