It was a legendary performance for the El Segundo All-Stars, who led 5-1 before Curaçao tied it with a grand slam ahead of Lappe’s game-winner.
Louis Lappe hit a game-winning home run in the sixth inning, becoming an instant legend and givingLappe 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. The leadoff hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning, Louis lofted the second pitch he saw just beyond the left field fence.
“It’s been a long two months, but it’s been a loving, wonderful ending to the last two months of our mission,” El Segundo manager Danny Boehle said. “I think it’s priceless and I wouldn’t give it up for the world.” Boehle said he thought Curaçao, which had erased a four-run deficit with a dramatic grand slam one inning earlier, would likely pitch around Lappe.
El Segundo took a 5-1 lead into the fifth inning, but Curaçao hit a grand slam that tied the score at 5-5. Brooks was then handed the ball as Manager Danny Boehle turned to his biggest players in the biggest moment. “These guys know what they’re doing and they believe in the coaches,” Boehle said. “We believe in them. It’s just the attitude and the personalities they’ve chosen over the years that has kept us so connected.”
“The five guys that I have in the top of the lineup, they’re as good as anyone in this tournament,” Boehle said. “I stand by that full-heartedly.”
