                       GREAT JOB WAYZATA BASEBALL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ERIK PAULSEN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 14, 2016

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Wayzata 
High School Baseball team for winning the Minnesota state baseball 
championship.
  The Wayzata Trojans stormed through the three game state tournament 
with an early decisive victory, a walk-off home run in the semifinals, 
and a solid pitching performance that allowed only five hits during the 
final contest. This resilient defensive effort, coupled with scoring 
four runs in the final two at bats in the fifth inning, ultimately 
resulted in the Trojans winning their first state championship with a 
score of 9-1.
  Baseball is a game that fosters teamwork, leadership, and 
sportsmanship. I also want to recognize their commitment not just to 
their sport, but to the time spent in the classroom and in the 
community to become outstanding student athletes.
  Mr. Speaker, the family, fans, and the entire Wayzata community are 
very proud of this team. Congratulations again to the Trojans on 
winning the high school baseball championship.
