  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Maryland 
District 7 Softball Team--this year's winners of the 2003 Softball Big 
League World Series.
  This softball powerhouse breezed through the tournament to win their 
fifth championship title in seven years at the Big League Softball 
World Series. In eight innings, Maryland defeated Puerto Rico in the 
Championship Game by a score of 3-1. I want my colleagues to know about 
the hard work ethic and determination these outstanding young athletes 
possess.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a sports success story and fans were thrilled by 
the championship effort and heart displayed by these young women from 
Maryland. Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating the Maryland 
District 7 Softball Team on their triumphant season.
  The Maryland District 7 Softball Team: Jamie Baden, Lacy Cochran, Kim 
Fowler, Heather Hall, Heather Holley, Carrie Higdon, Cory Karcesky, 
Amanda Mitchell, Caryn Moreland, Lindsey Preuss, Kelly Seger, Maris 
Smith, Danielle Sturman, Jamea Waltersdorff, Abbey Welch, along with 
coaches Andy Adams, and Mike Kriner and manager Tommy Morrison.
