Carriker's walk-off HR lifts Georgia to LLWS title

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- 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, Japan, 3-2, in a thrilling Little League 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.
