Little League World Series update: Worcester beat Harlem last night, 5-2, when Worcester's catcher Ryan Griffin hit his first home run ever in the bottom of the sixth inning to win the game and advance his team to the National Championship against Louisville this Saturday night. How awesome is that? New England sports commentators are already comparing this kid to Carlton "Pudge" Fisk, another hard-hitting catcher and Major League Hall of Famer who played for the Red Sox between 1969 and 1980. Maybe a little on the overboard side there, but what the heck. It's this kid's moment - let him enjoy it.
