The team also stayed to watch the game.
After all the team members' hard work and determination to get to the Little League World Series, it was time for a quick break from practice to meet with the Astros players.

Many of the Post Oak players are obviously hoping to win the Little League World Series, but they're also just as hopeful to one day maybe play at the major league level.
This year marks the furthest any Post Oak Little League team has gone in the team's 60-year history.
