LAKE MARY, Florida. – The Lake Mary All-Stars return to Central Florida on Monday after winning the Little League World Series championship game.

The team recovered to defeat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings to take the title.

“It was the best feeling ever,” said Lake Mary’s Lathan Norton, who scored the winning run. “I haven’t had time to really let it all sink in, but it feels like the most amazing thing ever.”

Lake Mary plans to hold a parade this Saturday, calling it a “one-time celebration.”

Bryan Nipe, director of Economic Development, Parks and Recreation, said they have been working on this celebration for months.

“Our girls softball had already won states, and we had a lot of energy there, and the boys kept going. We knew something big was happening,” Nipe said.

The city says the parade honoring the team, their coaches and families will begin at 10 a.m. and will feature a procession of vehicles, mascots and a marching band.

This is the first championship in nine tries for Florida, which also came from behind in a 10-7 semifinal win over Texas on Saturday, scoring five runs in its final at-bat.

“We came here to do something. We came here to do a job, and today we accomplished that job,” Florida manager Jonathan Anderson said. “We lost to Texas, we fought all the way back, and now we’re here to talk about how we won this whole thing.”

News 6 will broadcast the parade celebration live on Saturday, August 31, both on the radio and on ClickOrlando.com.
