‘Holy Crap!’ This LLWS Pitcher Had A Hilarious Reaction To Giving Up A Grand Slam

As an athlete, sometimes you just have no other choice but to concede defeat and recognize the impressive accomplishments of your opponents. This was a lesson learned by Mekhi Garrard, a pitcher for Midwest in the 2015 Little League World Series, on Friday night after giving up a monster grand slam to Mid-Atlantic’s Cole Wagner in the third inning.

As soon as Wagner made contact, Garrard turned around to watch in total awe, yelling “holy crap!” as he witnessed the ball soar through the night’s sky. After it finally came down, Garrard’s agape mouth transformed into a smile as he looked around at his teammates. His pals may not have found the homer so amusing, as it increased Mid-Atlantic’s lead to 18-0, which wound up being the game’s final score.

Despite the blowout, Garrard’s spirit clearly remained unbroken, which is something that’s more important than anything you’ll find on a scorecard.

You’re a winner in my book, kid.
