The boys of the El Segundo all-star team returned home as champions after a dramatic walk-off home run in the Little League World Series cemented their legacy in the history books.
The El Segundo ball players were in a back-and-forth game with their opponents, the all-stars of the Curacao-based Pabao Little League, with the latter hammering in a grand slam homer an inning before 12-year-old Louis Lappe stepped up to the plate. With the two teams tied up at five runs a piece, the 6-foot-1-inch ball player stared down a pitch barrelling down the middle of the plate. He smashed it out of the park with his teammates emptying the dugout to celebrate their World Series win.
When the team returned to the small suburb of Los Angeles County, they were welcomed home with a parade and City Hall decorated for the World Champions.
