Moroff excited to return to LLWS roots

PITTSBURGH -- Max Moroff has a specific destination in mind when the Pirates visit Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport on Sunday afternoon.

Moroff was there 12 years ago for the Little League World Series, playing third base and shortstop for his team from Maitland, Fla. In the United States semifinal against Vista, Calif., teammate Mike Tomlinson hit a ball off the foul pole. But it was called a double, not a potentially game-changing home run, and there was no replay process in place. Moroff's team went on to lose to the California club, 6-2, and fell out of the tournament.
