  RECOGNIZING FREDERICKSBURG NATIONALS ON WINNING THE CAROLINA LEAGUE 
                         BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Ms. SPANBERGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Fredericksburg Nationals for winning the Carolina League baseball 
championship.

[[Page H5661]]

  On Wednesday night, the FredNats won the third and deciding game of 
the Carolina League championship series.
  The FredNats took the series 3-0, securing the franchise's first 
league crown since relocating to Fredericksburg in 2020. This run was 
no easy task, and at every game, the FredNats showed us that 
championships are won with passion, grit, and teamwork.
  I must admit that I had the opportunity to throw out the first pitch 
for the FredNats earlier this season, and after that, I definitely knew 
that we should leave baseball to the pros.
  As the Representative for Virginia's Seventh District, I congratulate 
our Fredericksburg Nationals--the players, coaches, staff, and fans--
for a terrific season and this incredible achievement.
  We couldn't be prouder.
