  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Greenwich High School softball team on an extraordinary season 
culminating in a win at the state championship game.
  The Greenwich Witches won the state championship softball game at 
Moriches Athletic Complex over the Greene Trojans, by a score of four 
to one. Led by Coach Bill Curley, the Greenwich Witches rose to the 
challenge during their final game and, after an amazing comeback, the 
team pushed the game into an extra inning. Trailing by one run in the 
fourth inning, the Witches responded with a run of their own during the 
sixth inning and tied the game. In the top of the eighth inning, the 
Witches scored three more runs and sealed their state championship 
victory.
  After a hard-fought semifinal game earlier in the day, the Greenwich 
Witches' perseverance ultimately allowed them to succeed in the final. 
They won the state championship thanks to the hard work and dedication 
of the entire team. Pitcher Lily McCauliffe helped carry the team to 
victory with nine strikeouts during the championship game and eleven in 
the previous semifinal game. In the championship game, the Greenwich 
Witches began their comeback with a critical double hit by Reese 
Autiello. Additionally, Faith Ingber and Kiley Allen scored significant 
runs that carried the Witches to victory. Their perseverance and 
determination are truly inspirational and worthy

of celebration. I am confident that the Greenwich High School softball 
team will continue to be a competitive force for many years to come.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to congratulate 
the Greenwich Witches on their incredible 2022 season culminating in a 
state championship win. We are very proud of their hard work and 
dedication throughout this year.
