EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Aug. 28, 2023 - PRLog -- The triumphant El Segundo Little League team, freshly crowned champions of the 2023 Little League World Series, is set to return home in style on August 28th, thanks to the generous support of Swoop Inc. Founded by community-minded entrepreneurs Amir Ghorbani and Pete Evenson, who grew up in El Segundo, Swoop Inc. is deeply honored and immensely proud of El Segundo's championship victory.

In a thrilling championship showdown against Curaçao, El Segundo secured California's championship win with a nail-biting 6-5 score. California initially took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and held onto it for most of the match. However, Curaçao mounted a remarkable comeback in the fifth inning, tying the game at 5-5 with a grand slam. The decisive moment arrived in the sixth inning when Louis Lappe delivered a walk-off home run, marking his fifth homer of the tournament.
