                      Thursday, September 12, 2013

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the extraordinary 
merit of the Eastlake All-Stars from Sammamish, WA today, September 12, 
2013.
  The Eastlake All-Stars (Northwest) won the WA state championship, and 
then the regional championship, defeating Billings, Montana (Big Sky 
Little League) 13-1 in four innings. They advanced as far as the United 
States semi-final of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, 
Pennsylvania.
  Their route was inspirational. After losing to New England, they 
rallied to defeat the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast teams before 
advancing to the semi-final. Facing off against New England once again 
in a rollercoaster game, they were defeated 13-14.
  Throughout the Little League World Series they demonstrated great 
cohesion and teamwork. Congratulations to the Eastlake All-Stars for an 
outstanding tournament at the Little League World Series; they are 
deserving of every special recognition. The players and coaches who 
made this excellent season possible are listed below.
  Players: Will Armbruester, Cameron Bowers, Adam Carper, Jack Carper, 
Dalton Chandler, Jacob Dahlstrom, Bryce Delay, Nathan
