              CONGRATULATING THE VANDERBILT BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. STEVE COHEN

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 28, 2019

  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate and celebrate the 
accomplishments of the Vanderbilt Baseball Team and their College World 
Series Championship victory. Vanderbilt University won the College 
World Series on Wednesday, June 26, 2019 for the second time in school 
history. I also want to commend head coach Tim Corbin for leading the 
team to a record-setting 59 victories this season. They showed 
tremendous perseverance through the season, but most especially when 
they came back once again in Game 3 to beat Michigan 8-2 and clinch the 
Championship. The team's season was also saved by a remarkable pitching 
effort, led by Kumar Rocker, who pitched a no-hitter against Duke 
during the Super Regional. The Commodores represented Vanderbilt 
University and the state of Tennessee with distinction and did so while 
remembering their fallen teammate, Donny Everett. As the Vanderbilt 
fight song states: ``if vict'ry's won, when battle's done, Then Vandy's 
name will rise in fame; Dynamite; Dynamite.'' I'd like to once again 
congratulate the 2019 Vanderbilt Baseball team for their College World 
Series Championship and dynamite season.
