SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — It’s back to basics.

The day after falling 12-0 to a dominant Honolulu team at the Little League World Series, Massapequa Coast took the practice field, not in the Metro Region champion gear they’ve been wearing this week, but in their navy and gold home jerseys.

“I wanted them to put those jerseys on, so when people did see us again, just as the coverage has been totally awesome since we won states and regionals, I wanted them to be recognized after a loss as well,” manager Roland Clark said Saturday, adding the uniform change led to a psychological shift — stripping back the fanfare of being on an international stage and reminding his players of the historic path they’ve already tread from their small Long Island hamlet.

“This is who we are. This is the team that got us here,” Clark said. “Those original numbers that they got to select means something to them.”

Both Christian Bekiers and Liam St. George agreed it felt good to put on their old faithful uniforms as they prepared for their second game, which will be Sunday afternoon.

“It feels like we’re back at home and representing everyone back at home,” said Bekiers, who declared he’s not ready to pack it up and return to Long Island.

The 11-man squad is looking for a fresh start in the double-elimination tournament and a fresh page to write their Little League World Series story.

“I got a lot of texts from friends at home telling us to put [the Friday night] game behind us and we gotta play hard this next game,” Bekiers said.

“I just remember to play good and have confidence and good things will happen,” added Anthony Badagliacca, who notched the team’s lone strikeout on Friday.

On Sunday, Massapequa Coast will face Hollidaysburg, Pa., 7-5 winners over Middleboro (Mass) on Saturday night.

“We’ve been in this position before,” said Clark, referring to the district tournament, at which they won three in a row, edging themselves out of the losers’ bracket to remain alive and later become the first team in Massapequa Coast’s 72-year history to reach Williamsport.

Despite the gravity of the do-or-die moment, Clark doesn’t have any cinematic locker-room moments planned.

“There are no ‘Rudy’ speeches right now,” he said. “They’ve heard me speak of those situations before. Right now we’re leaving it up to them to come out and decide on their own who they want to leave Williamsport as. Who wants to be the first one to come out and get that hit in tomorrow’s game? Who wants the break the ice for the team and get the wheels going?”

The team is hoping for an infusion of motivation from their usual leaders — Lucas Mininni, Bekiers and third baseman Michael Clark.

“Lucas is always encouraging us in the dugout to get better and have more energy,” Bekiers said.

Said St. George: “Christian is always telling us that the game is behind us and we gotta play hard that next game.”

Bekiers, who hasn’t cut his long hair since Massapequa started its run, is also the resident DJ, tasked with keeping the playlist full of pump-up music.

“We play a lot of old New York rappers, like Biggie. We like ‘Juicy’ and ‘Hypnotize’. When we won New York, our coaches told us that we were New York tough,” he said of the Empire State-centric hip hop.

Clark, the coach’s son and resident dance starter and hype man, keeps the team loose and laughing.

“I couldn’t even tell you what he does. He does random stuff, but gives us a lot of energy,” Bekiers said.

The boys had an easy day of swimming and resting and of course attending the game Saturday night to learn about their next opponent.

“The teams played in the same region as us. They are both two really good teams,” Biekers said. “But if we play our game, I think we got them.”
