DISTRICT 16 LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR NORTHFIELD, NEW
JERSEY
(Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, Northfield, New Jersey's Little League
baseball team, a little while back, won their second straight District
16 Little League baseball title.
Their pitcher, Finn Haines, who was selected to compete in the Little
League Derby in Atlanta, pitched their final two innings to clinch the
win.
Brady Arena, their leadoff hitter, scored their winning run, ensuring
that Northfield beat Ocean City 3-2.
The District 16 baseball teams are made up of 11-and 12-year-olds in
Atlantic and Cape May Counties in south Jersey, and winning this title
means that Northfield advanced to the Section 4 tournament.
When they won, the Northfield team ran a victory lap around the field
holding the District 16 championship banner in pride, along with the
United States flag.
So to all players on the team: Congratulations on your win. You have
exciting futures ahead of you. I am sure you have many, many more wins
to come.
