      CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ARLINGTON BABE RUTH 13U ALL-STAR TEAM

  (Mr. BEYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BEYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Arlington 
Babe Ruth 13U All-Star Team, who won the Virginia Babe Ruth Baseball 
13U State championship and represented Virginia in the 2023 Babe Ruth 
World Series.
  The team was undefeated in the State tournament, outscoring their 
opponents 41-7. The team went on to proudly represent Virginia in the 
2023 Babe Ruth World Series where they faced regional champions from 
all over the country.
  While they came up short in their goal of winning the world series, 
they should nevertheless be tremendously proud of a wonderful season. 
It would also not have been possible without a dedicated group of 
friends, families, and supporters who cheered them on and spent 
countless hours and hundreds of miles supporting the team.
  It made Arlington and the rest of the Eighth District proud. I am 
sure they will go on to even greater things.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating head coach Chris 
Chiuchiolo, assistant coach Thor Koomey, and their championship team: 
Sammy Braccia, George Cocker, Ryan DiVincenzo, Nolan Foerster, Luca 
Feden, Clive Gay, Aden Heinzer, Michael Huff, Booker Lawson, Michael 
Mastrangelo, Jack Riordan, Charlie Rotz, and Jones Tallent.
  Go Arlington.
