                     Wednesday, September 16, 2020

  Mr. KIM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Moorestown 8U 
baseball team, who on August 26, 2020, became the eight-year-old 
Southern New Jersey Baseball State Champions.
  Led by Coach Andy Berman and Assistant Coaches Geoff Degener, Dustin 
Jerdan, and Ron Obermeier, the Moorestown 8U baseball team displayed 
incredible perseverance all season amidst a global pandemic. Their 
countless hours of practice, dedication to safety, and commitment to 
their teammates led them to win Moorestown 8U Baseball Team's first 
State Championship while staying safe and healthy. Throughout the 
entire season they dominated their opposition, losing only one game and 
making it to the State Final, which they won 9 to 2.
  I congratulate team members Ben Berman, Braden Castner, Austin 
Degener, Jack Finazzo, Jace Jerdan, Jack Krumins, Shane Krumins, Matt 
Laufer, Brett Obermeier, Eshaan Panchal, Alex Seamon, and Nate Seibel 
on their incredible season and state championship.
  I'm proud to be able to celebrate the success of some of the talented 
student-athletes from New Jersey's Third District. I want to 
congratulate the entire coaching staff, the team, and their parents on 
their tremendous season.
