South Bay little league baseball players are rejoicing for their local team, El Segundo who beat Curacao 6-5 in the Little League World Championship on Sunday in Williamsport, PA.
El Segundo’s Louis Lappe hit a walk-off homer for the win despite giving up a four-run lead.
Louis flipped his bat and threw his arms in the air as he trotted around the bases, leaping onto home plate as he was greeted by his teammates surrounding the batter’s box.
“This is a unique feeling that maybe only five or less people experience in their lifetime,” Louis told APSouth . He finished the tournament with five home runs, the most of any player. “I feel great. It’s hard to beat this feeling. I don’t know what would make me feel happier.”
