Cal Raleigh’s two-run shot in the seventh inning sent hundreds of Little Leaguers from around the globe cheering in delight to see one of the brightest stars in the MLB Little League Classic go deep.

The MLB record for single-season home runs by a catcher is 48, set by the Royals' Salvador Perez. Raleigh needs one to tie and two to break it, with more than a month left in the season. It feels like a foregone conclusion at this point, but that won't make the moment any less special.

Cal Raleigh continues to give the people what they want. The Seattle Mariners star catcher Raleigh took some time to sign autographs for fans while attending a Little League World Series game on Sunday.

The Mets jumped out to a 6-0 lead against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. They lost 11-6. Starters can’t find the strike zone, relievers can’t keep their cool, and New York has already crumpled up separate leads of one, four, five and six runs this week.
