    CONGRATULATING THE LANCASTER CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM

  (Mr. SMUCKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Lancaster Catholic 
High School baseball team today.
  The Crusaders baseball team recently claimed its first baseball 
championship in school history. After a remarkable 20-5 season, the 
Crusaders won the Lancaster-Lebanon Section 4 and District 3 titles, 
setting themselves up for a run at the State championship.
  Sure enough, the Crusaders defeated South Side 5-1 in the PIAA 3A 
Championship.
  In addition to the Crusaders' great offense, the highlight of the 
game was senior Dillon Marsh's dominating pitching performance. Marsh, 
who has committed to playing at the University of Kentucky next year, 
pitched a complete game, striking out 11 batters without allowing a 
single walk.
  This game continued his excellent postseason performance, during 
which he surpassed the 100 strikeout mark for the season and threw a 
no-hit shutout in the State semifinals.
  In summarizing his victory and the celebration with his teammates, 
Marsh simply stated: ``It was just pure happiness.''
  Congratulations to the Lancaster Crusaders baseball team, the 
coaches, the families, and everyone at the school and in the community 
who supported this team along the way.
