          CONGRATULATING THE ROWAN LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL TEAM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the members of 
Rowan Little League's 12-under softball team.
  Kaylin Dowling, Allison Ennis, Kary Hales, Caylie Keller, Caitlin 
Mann, Kali Morton, Taylor Sanborn, Megyn Spicer, Liza Simmerson, Jaden 
Vaughn, Taylor Walton, Ellie Wilhelm, and Ellen Yang played their 
hearts out during the Little League Softball World Series in Portland, 
Oregon, and emerged as world champions.
  Coach Steve Yang, with assistance from Coaches Eric Dowling and Rob 
Hales, led the team, who went 5-1 in the tournament and outscored their 
opponents 43-6 during the winning campaign.
  After scoring four runs in the first inning of the championship game 
versus East regional champs, Rhode Island, the team relied on 
exceptional pitching and outstanding defensive play to win the game.
  I commend these young athletes and congratulate them on a job well 
done. North Carolina is incredibly proud of the teamwork, dedication, 
and perseverance they exhibited on the way to this extraordinary 
achievement.
