ARKANSAS RAZORBACK BASEBALL
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of
Arkansas Razorback baseball team on their successful 2015 season.
After winning their regional and super regional play, they made it to
the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. This was the Omahogs'
eighth trip to the College World Series and their fourth under the
leadership of Coach Dave Van Horn.
While their season may have come to an end last week, they still have
many reasons to be proud. On April 4 of this year, the team was idling
with a .500 record, and postseason play seemed doubtful. They then
embarked on one of the greatest turnarounds in the program's history,
winning 25 of their next 35 games to finish the season with an
impressive 40-25 record.
With their seemingly limitless enthusiasm and spirit, the Razorbacks
represented themselves on the national stage with the determination and
dedication that made all Arkansans and Arkansas alumni proud.
Congratulations on a great season, and I look forward to your
continued success.
Go Hogs, go.
