SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Cool and collected, 13-year-old pitcher Clint Wynn had to think a moment when asked about Georgia's streak at the Little League World Series.

Entering 2007, Georgia teams had twice before advanced to South Williamsport, each time leaving with a championship.

Warner Robins, Ga., can make it three in a row after advancing to this year's World Series title game following a 5-2 win Saturday over Lubbock, Texas.

"I want a repeat," Wynn said with a straight face.

Georgia will face Tokyo today after Japan beat Willemstad, Curacao, 7-4, earlier Saturday. Ryo Kanekubo's grand slam in the bottom of the sixth lifted Japan.

Georgia manager Mickey Lay said he'll be doing some quick scouting Saturday night. First, though, there was a little celebrating to do.

"Dance a little bit, talk to the families, just get ready," Lay said. "We'll be partying here in a minute."

Dalton Carriker homered, David Umphreyville, Jr. had a 2-run single and Zane Conlon snared a line drive to end a rally to lead Warner Robins.
