Louis Lappe hit more home runs than any player in the 2023 Minor League Baseball World Series. His fifth and final Denners came in the final inning of the tournament on Sunday and put California on top of the minor league world once again.
The 6-foot-1 third baseman smashed a walk-off home run in the sixth inning to lift his team from El Segundo, California, past Curaçao, 6-5, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
California won five straight playoff games to claim its eighth Little League World Series title, the most by any state since the championship game was introduced in 1947.
The 12-year-old raised his bat to the sky as he made his way to the first base line. He broke the rules before jumping to home plate, capturing California’s first Little League World Series title since 2011.
“I was just looking for a good pitch to hit,” said Lappi. “My mentality was to motivate the next player. If we had kept doing that we would have won anyway, but I’m going to win the homer.”
After California leadoff hitter Brody Brooks delivered a scoreless topping in the sixth, Lappee opened the bottom of the inning by getting every bit of a 1-0 pitch from Jay Dlin Will.
Brooks and Lappy helped California take a 2-0 lead in the first period as they both scored on Lukas Keldorf’s double that jumped off the center field wall.
647 (22-for-34) across California’s seven games in Williamsport. Brooks led all players with 12 hits and tied the Little League World Championship scoring record with 13 points. Along with his five home runs, Lappee led all players with 10 RBIs.
Curaçao pushed a run through the top of the third before Jackson Kalish extended California’s advantage with a two-run single and two runs in the bottom of the frame. Crew O’Connor added an RBI single in the fourth.
Curaçao reached their second straight match of the tournament after beating Taiwan on Saturday for the international title. On Sunday, Taiwan defeated Texas 10-0 in the third-place match.
Fan Chen Jun led Taiwan, who hit 80 mph on the mound—equivalent to over 100 mph in a Majors’ championship—on his way to striking out nine over four innings in a game shortened by the ten-run rule. . He also hit a three-run homer and caught an RBI single.
Lappi’s heroic achievement came after a sensational comeback for Curaçao, back-to-back international champions. Trailing 5-1, Curaçao leveled the game in the blink of an eye when Nasser Al-Asis launched a Grand Slam with a two-goal lead in the fifth-place finish.
