| H.R. No. 282 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Pearland Little League All-Stars baseball team | ||
| achieved great distinction by advancing to the 2022 Little League | ||
| Baseball World Series, held August 17 through 28 in Williamsport, | ||
| Pennsylvania; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A group of talented 12-and-under ballplayers, the | ||
| All-Stars began their journey by winning the District 15, | ||
| Section 3, and Texas East titles; Pearland then turned in a | ||
| triumphant performance at the Southwest Region Championship in | ||
| Waco; in the finals, the squad defeated Oklahoma 9-4 to claim a | ||
| berth in the Little League World Series for the fourth time in the | ||
| history of the Pearland program; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In their opening world series contest on August 18, | ||
| the All-Stars scored six runs in the fifth inning against the team | ||
| from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, to secure an 8-3 win; Pearland | ||
| dropped its second game in the double elimination tournament but | ||
| shut out Davenport, Iowa, 4-0 to keep its hopes alive; in a rematch | ||
| with Hollidaysburg in their next game, the Texas players blasted | ||
| three home runs for an 8-4 victory; facing the Nolensville, | ||
| Tennessee, squad on August 25 with a trip to the United States | ||
| championship game on the line, the All-Stars turned in a valiant | ||
| effort but ultimately saw their unforgettable season come to an | ||
| end; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, Pearland | ||
| benefited from the valuable contributions made throughout its | ||
| campaign by each member of the roster: Malachi Clark, Ford Hill, | ||
| Jacob Zurek, Cooper Arbaugh, Austin Cummings, Landon Karel, Ethan | ||
| Richardson, Cohen Hartman, Corey Kahn, Jacolby Mayberry, Jackson | ||
| Wolfe, Manny Castillo, and Kaiden Shelton; these determined | ||
| athletes were ably guided by coaches Andrew Solomon and Robb Zurek | ||
| and manager Aaron Cummings; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The members of the Pearland Little League All-Stars | ||
| proudly represented their city and state in one of the premier | ||
| showcases for youth athletics, and they will treasure their | ||
| memories of this achievement for many years to come; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Pearland Little League | ||
| All-Stars on advancing to the 2022 Little League Baseball World | ||
| Series and extend to the team's players and coaches sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
