Home Care In El Segundo, CA

Home Care El Segundo, CA

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Clutter's Park gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in El Segundo, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

“I highly recommend Always Best Care for every aspect from the ones seeking care for a loved one or themselves, all the way to the ones seeking an opportunity to care for a senior. I personally worked for ABC, and throughout my years with them I had the pleasure of interacting with the seniors as well as with the amazing caregivers. From the stories of a much more simpler time in the elders life to the reasons from a caregiver wanting to truly care for the seniors. (Most reasons are personal to them that have impacted their life and heart). This is truly a caring company with exceptional professional staff. It's hard to find a company that demonstrates both of those traits....”

“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care in the South Bay. I was lucky to be referred to ABC when my Father suddenly needed in-home care several years ago and I hired ABC again a few months ago when my friend needed in-home care. The learning curve is steep when a family member is no longer independent. Having reliable, caring and professional caregivers is invaluable in getting through these challenges. Hiring the caregivers from ABC allowed me to be the "daughter" again. I absolutely could not have cared for my beloved Father or my dear friend without ABC by my side!”

“Always Best Care agency has been wonderful to work with. The caregivers they have provided to stay with my dear friend, who has dementia, have been outstanding. My husband, an MD, and I, an RN, have rather high standards and have found all of the caregivers to be professional, caring and extremely reliable (24/7 care in this case) They go above and beyond expectations. I have felt safe with the caregivers,as they are also down-to-earth; caring people. Dr. David Hart is the main point person in this family-run agency and he is not only a very caring person, he is extremely intelligent in his communication, yet very down-to earth at the same time. He is responsive to any issues that arise immediately…not only for the client, but also to his caregivers, who he genuinely cares about. That is perhaps why he attracts and retains such stellar employees, We feel very lucky to have found ABC Senior Care services. Ilene Watson, RN and Dr. Walter Watson,MD, Manhattan Beach, CA”

“Carrie, David, and their team are terrific to work with. Carrie has been a lifesaver by helping us to quickly find a wonderful 24/7 board and care facility for our loved one who is suffering from both advanced dementia and a broken, severe arthritic neck. They have provided very capable temporary care givers to us to help with taking our loved one to doctor's appointments and during the time our loved one was being treated in the hospital. David has thoroughly educated us on all aspects of dementia and counseled the family members to help sort out their emotions during these difficult times. We strongly recommend Always Best Care South Bay to anyone needing advise, help, and services to find care facilities, care givers, and/or counseling.”

“From the moment I first spoke to Mark Wecker at Always Best Care, he was kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure to ask all the right questions to help my siblings and me find the perfect place for our father who had very advanced Parkinson's Disease. He took us to places that fit the high quality we were looking for and in our budget range. Mark showed genuine concern for us and my father. And he helped us navigate through a challenging situation. We made a great decision based on his expert advice. Unfortunately, my father passed away before we could bring him to LA. But I will always be grateful for the detailed attention we received from Mark and Always Best Care.”

“My son and I have received family counseling from Dr. Hart for nearly two years. We both suffer from PTSD, among other mental disabilities, and have been seen by a number of therapists over the years. We have found Dr. Hart’s care to be among the most helpful. He is kind, understanding, and patient. Rather than employing long term, traditional psychotherapy or other limited methods exclusively, he uses different approaches to break through a person’s natural resistance. He suggests interpretations of feelings and actions, asks questions that show real insight, and then gives practical and usually appropriate advice that can be accepted or discussed further. He has treated us with respect and even with a non-intrusive, kind of professional affection. We would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation.”

Mark was understanding and expressed his concern for my Dad's wellbeing. He didn't push for us to continue services. I would work with ABC again if my father agrees to resume services.

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. David Hart for your elder-care needs. Dr. Hart is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring person who helped our family beyond measure to provide the best level of care for our mother who has Alzheimer's Disease. We engaged Dr. Hart to 1) conduct his own periodic assessments of our mother; 2) create a forum for our broader family, including our mom, to communicate and ask questions; 3) provide training and resources; and 4) help our family evaluate and implement an interim and long-term care plan for our mother. DR. HART EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS ON EVERY LEVEL. Prior to meeting Dr. Hart we had received a lot of conflicting information and our broader family was experiencing a very high level of stress and frustration. Thankfully, after engaging with Dr. Hart for several months, our family became knowledgeable, we communicated well with each other, and we just implemented a long-term care plan that addresses all of our mom's needs and one that she really enjoys. DR. HART IS THE BEST AND HE TRULY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND THE FAMILIES HE WORKS WITH. Thank you Dr. Hart for all of you have done for our family. Words cannot express our gratitude.”

“My widowed 80-year-old mother who has Alzheimer's disease has been living alone for 3 years. She has been extremely resistant to having caregivers in her home and my brother and I had all but given up. We have been amazed at the progress we've made since enlisting the help of Dr. David Hart at Always Best Care. In a little over a month, Mom has accepted a caregiver and is considering a move to an assisted living facility. Equally important, the support and assistance we have received in making both large and small decisions has been invaluable and a huge relief. I also highly recommend the Caregiving Essentials class taught by Dr. Hart, which covers everything you need to know in a single 3-1/2 hour "bootcamp" session, including brain science, communication tips, and resources. (GPS shoe insert, who knew?!) The class would benefit anyone who has a friend or family member suffering from dementia.”

“Dr. Hart has been of monumental assistance to our family during a very difficult time. We first learned of Dr. David’s practice when mom was first diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). His support groups for families and patients offered comfort and practical advice from others going through the same experience. He provided essential information—facts about dementia and lifestyle changes to slow the process—based on the latest research findings, sparing us the time and frustration of navigating the web and sorting facts from myths. But most important to me has been the emotional support Dr. David has personally provided to my sister and I, and the trusting relationship he established with mom. His professional empathy and experience with human behavior as well as his expertise in the field of geriatrics and cognition combine to provide an array of servicesthat will truly make the difference toward a successful transition for elders and their families.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in El Segundo, CA?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

 Senior Care El Segundo, CA

Home Care El Segundo, CA
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit El Segundo, California, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

 In-Home Care El Segundo, CA

Benefits of Home Care in El Segundo, CA

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in El Segundo, CA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care El Segundo, CA

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your CA's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care El Segundo, CA

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in El Segundo, CA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care El Segundo, CA

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers El Segundo, CA

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • Elena's Private Care
  • Park Vista
Home Care El Segundo, CA

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

EL SEGUNDO (CNS) — The all-star team from El Segundo will seek a berth in Saturday’s U.S. championship game of the Little League World Series when it faces its counterpart from the Northeast Seattle Little League Thursday in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

El Segundo fended off elimination for the second consecutive game with a 5-3 victory over the all-star team from the Nolensville (Tennessee) Little League Wednesday with Louis Lappe hitting a tie-breaking two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning in the six-inning game.

El Segundo had been relegated to the elimination bracket of the modified double-elimination tournament with a 3-1 loss to the all-star team from the Needville (Texas) Little League, the Southwest Region champion, on Monday.

Northeast Seattle, the Northwest Region champion, lost 1-0 to Needville earlier Wednesday.

Needville’s victory Wednesday gave it a berth in the U.S. championship game.

El Segundo and Northeast Seattle have one other common opponent, Nolensville, which lost to Northeast Seattle, 6-2, on Monday.

The 4 p.m. game will be televised by ESPN.

Lappe and Brody Brooks were both 3-for-3 Wednesday, with Brooks scoring three runs and Lappe two. Brooks was also credited with the save, retiring all three batters he faced in the sixth with one strike out.

Jaxon Kalish was 2-for-3, including a two-run triple in the third that increased El Segundo’s lead to 3-0.

Nolensville tied the score with two outs in the top of the fifth of the six-inning game at Howard J. Lamade Stadium, as Corbin Cyphers stole home at the back end of a delayed double steal.

Lucas McCauley hit a two-run homer for Nolensville, the Southeast Region champion, in the top of the fourth.

El Segundo combined singles by Brooks and Lappe and an error for a run in the first inning.

El Segundo, the West Region champion, out-hit Nolensville, 11-4.

Max Baker, the third of four El Segundo pitchers, was credited with the victory, allowing one run and two hits in one inning with one strikeout.

Nash Carter, the second of Nolensville’s two pitchers, was charged with the loss, allowing two runs and four hits in two innings, striking out two and walking one.

The loss eliminated Nolensville.

El Segundo will open World Series play by facing the all-star team from the New Albany (Ohio) Little League. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. in the modified double-elimination tournament.

The game will be televised by ESPN. A watch party is planned at Rock & Brews El Segundo on Main Street.

How the El Segundo All-Stars qualified for the Little League World Series

El Segundo qualified for the World Series by defeating the all-star team from the San Ramon-based Bollinger Canyon Little League, 3-1, in the championship game Friday of the West Region Tournament in San Bernardino.

El Segundo is 14-1 in four tournaments this summer. It lost to the all-star team from the Sherman Oaks Little League, 4-3, in the opening game of the championship series of the Southern California State Tournament July 31, then won the rematch, 3-2, later that day.

Little League World Series format explained

The Little League World Series introduced a 20-team bracket in 2022, up from 16 teams.

Metro and Mountain Regions were added on the U.S. side. Cuba, Panama and Puerto Rico are now part of the international field. Cuba and Panama have automatic bids for the 2023 tournament. Puerto Rico did not make the World Series field.

Here's where things get more complicated. Not everyone starts in the same position.

Four teams on each side of the bracket will play an additional game. Two other teams from each side will have to await the results of those games to figure out their first opponent. The tournament then follows a double-elimination format, meaning one loss isn't enough to send a team home.

Play follows that format until the U.S. Final and the International Final. The winners of those two games will meet in the Little League World Series championship scheduled for Aug. 27.

The full bracket can be found here.

LA-area teams in the Little League World Series

El Segundo is the first Los Angeles County team to win the West Region Tournament since 1994, when the all-star team from the Northridge Little League won and went on to win the U.S. championship with a team including future USC and NFL quarterback Matt Cassel.

One other team from Los Angeles County has qualified for the Little League World Series over that span. The all-star team from the Torrance Little League qualified for the Little League World Series in 2021 when the series was limited to U.S. teams because of the coronavirus and each of the top two teams from the eight U.S. regions advanced to the World Series instead of just the champion.

Los Angeles County teams have won the Little League World Series three times. The all-star team from the Granada Hills National Little League won in 1963 and teams from the Long Beach Little League won in 1992 and 1993.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — The light blue and yellow colors that represent the West Regional champion at the Little League World Series comes with a standard.

Whether California or Hawaii, the perfectly matched colors have become the symbol of excellence. For El Segundo Little League, the expectations are as high as ever with a game against Southwest champion Needville, Texas on Monday at 4 p.m. PT (ESPN2).

El Segundo opened slow in its first game against the Great Lakes representatives from New Albany, Ohio. The kids committed uncharacteristic mistakes and fell behind early. Unfazed by the deficit, El Segundo managed a three-run rally in the third that had people begin to exclaim the West had returned to its usual top form.

It was a brief glimpse before rain struck to cut the second day’s nightcap short, giving El Segundo a 4-3 win over Great Lakes in four innings.

“It seemed like every tournament we’ve had this year the media always put us at the top,” El Segundo Little League manager Danny Boehle said. “I like to hunt. I don’t like to be hunted. I like to play it under the radar a little bit.”

Playing under the radar is difficult for El Segundo, which has outscored opponents 17-6 in its last four games. The West regional champion, having to navigate a bracket with Hawaii, Northern California, and Arizona, will always enter the Little League World Series as one of the favorites.

“Unfortunately for us, the way our guys have played and the resiliency they’ve shown has been the reason why they put us at the top,” Boehle said. “They don’t mind it. They don’t walk around like they are No. 1.”

Monday night El Segundo won’t be able to start slow against the Southwest. The Texas squad has won both its games, including a 2-1 victory over hometown favorite Pennsylvania.

“We’re in a good spot,” Southwest coach Andy McRae said. “We’ve won them both and it has worked out. We have all our pitching.”

El Segundo will likely see DJ Jablonski or Colton Georgi, or a combination of the two. McRae wouldn’t commit to a starting pitcher before Monday.

Jablonski and Georgi combined to give up one run and scatter three hits against the Mid-Atlantic squad on Wednesday night. Jablonski struck out 10 and pitched much of the game for the Southwest.

“Everyone who has been on the mound has been one of our main guys,” McRae said. “The second time out is always easier than the first time. That probably helps at the end of the day.”

The Southwest champs will enter Monday’s game on a nine-game winning streak dating to the Texas state tournament. To say El Segundo’s opponent is clicking might be an understatement.

Friday night, Southwest scratched out a 6-2 victory over the Midwest champs from Fargo, North Dakota. The team connected with just two hits in the game but managed to capitalize off walks and three fielding errors. El Segundo might not be as charitable. The Southern California team also has all its pitchers available.

“Have you seen those California kids?” McRae asked the media during a press conference after the team’s second win. “It is hard to get overconfident. They are some big boys. I do not think we’ll have to worry about overconfidence.”

El Segundo has battled more than just the Great Lakes since beginning the 20-team international tournament.

A stomach virus hit the team as they were being transported to Williamsport. Several players spent time inside the on-site infirmary. All have returned to the team and will be suited up for tonight’s game.

“We don’t have to stress on who is going to be where defensively,” Boehle said of having the full roster at his disposal. “There’s certain rotations we have with certain pitchers. We want them to pitch to contact and we know the defense will be behind them.”

El Segundo committed three errors in the game against Great Lakes. All three came in the first two innings in which Great Lakes scored its three runs. El Segundo went errorless in the West Regional title game, a 3-1 win against Northern California.

El Segundo should be tighter tonight as Boehle will be able to shift players around to fit the pitching matchups.

Offensively, Jaxson Kalish returns to the lineup. He missed last Thursday’s opener due to an illness. He will add a dynamic piece to El Segundo’s lineup.

Boehle has kept his team motivated. They are close. They understand each other and the goal. Their coach also understands the importance of soaking in the entire tournament while attempting to become the best team in the world.

“It gets emotional for me when I think of me playing Little League and my dad coaching me,” Boehle said. “It’s kind of the last time as a father you get to coach your son and other kids who have become adopted sons to me.”

The all-star team from El Segundo will resume play in the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Monday, four victories away from the championship.

El Segundo will face the all-star team from the Needville (Texas) Little League, the Southwest Region champion, which was a 6-2 winner Friday over its counterpart from the Fargo (North Dakota) Little League, the Midwest Region champion, to improve to 2-0 in the 20-team, modified double-elimination tournament.

El Segundo won its tournament opener Thursday, defeating the all-star team from the New Albany (Ohio) Little League, the Great Lakes Region champion, 4-3, in a planned six-inning game called after four innings because of inclement weather and Little League curfew regulations.

Louis Lappe hit the tie-breaking homer in the bottom of the third immediately following Brody Brooks' two-run homer, which went off the glove of Eddie Bloch, the New Albany center fielder, over the fence at Howard J. Lamade Stadium.

New Albany scored twice in the second without hitting the ball out of the infield. Bloch led off with a walk, prompting El Segundo manager Danny Boehle to replace starter Ollie Parks with Declan McRoberts, who began the game playing third base.

Lincoln Luffler sacrificed and was safe at first on McRoberts' error. New Albany loaded the bases on Alex Behaein's bunt single. Bloch scored on Austin Sturmi's infield single. Jake Gilmer drove in Luffler with a ground out.

Brooks drew a full-count walk from Kevin Klingerman leading off the first, moved to third on Lucas Keldorf's one-out double and scored on Max Baker's ground out.

New Albany drew four walks for a run in its half of the first.

Both teams had three hits.

McRoberts was credited with the victory, allowing one run and three hits in three innings, striking out five.

Klingerman pitched a complete game for New Albany, allowing four runs and three hits in four innings, striking out six and walking five.

Ahead of the game, Boehle told KNX Thursday morning that some of his players have been afflicted with a stomach virus.

El Segundo is 15-1 in five tournaments this summer. It lost to the all-star team from the Sherman Oaks Little League, 4-3, in the opening game of the championship series of the Southern California State Tournament July 31, then won the rematch, 3-2, later that day, beginning a five-game winning streak.
