SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. â€”  Make it three straight Little League World Series championships for the United States.

Dalton Carriker homered to right in the bottom of the eighth inning as Warner Robins, Ga., beat Tokyo 3-2 in a thrilling title game on Sunday.

The 12-year-old Carriker raised his arms in celebration after hitting a 2-1 pitch from Japan's Junsho Kiuchi over the right-field stands. "USA! USA!" cried the Georgia-partisan crowd.

Columbus, Ga., won the crown last year, and Ewa Beach, Hawaii, in 2005.

     Congratulations to the team from Warner-Robbins and to the team from Tokyo.  This story is refreshing after several days of seemingly enedless Michael Vick coverage on the sports channels.  These kids play simply for the joy of playing and that is the purest of reasons and makes all of the teams winners in my book.

     Barry is now at 755 and A-Rod (traitor  ) is now at 500.  More impressive is that A-Rod is the youngest to 500 and that Barry is nowed tied for the most homers after turning 40, with 72 over the hill bombs.  So congratulations to Barry and A-Rod.  Also congrats to the Padres fans for being classy and giving Barry a good hand for his accomplishment, you are all class all the way.
