                       Friday, September 10, 2021

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Taylor 
North Little League Team, the winners of the 2021 Little League World 
Series. This team's tremendous accomplishment is worthy of 
commendation.
  After defeating their opponents at the district, state, and Great 
Lakes Regional championship, the Taylor North team was not yet done. On 
August 29, 2021., they won 5-2 against Ohio's Hamilton West Side team 
at Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Throughout the 
championship they defeated seven state champions and came out on top 
with a record of 19-1. In a season that was as challenging as it was 
rewarding, the team's tireless dedication to baseball and commitment to 
teamwork paid off when they became world champions at just twelve years 
old. These players proved that with hard work and confidence in your 
teammates, there is no obstacle that is too big to overcome.
  No Michigan Little League team has won the World Series since 1959. 
This team put Michigan Little League back on the map after 62 years. 
They brought their win back home to Taylor, Michigan to be met with a 
fitting homecoming victory parade complete with cheering

fans, a marching band, and ending with a glittering fireworks show.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in celebrating 
the Taylor North Little League Team: Chauncey Adkins, Noah Boren, Lucas 
Farner, Job Furkas, Kale Harris, Max LeForest, Jaxon Shufeldt, Jackson 
Surma, Cameron Thorning, Gavin Ulin, and Ethan Van Belle--along with 
Coach Guido Ulin and Manager Rick Thorning. Please join me in 
congratulating this team on their fantastic win and in wishing them the 
best of luck in the years to come.
