  Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the team members of 
the Midland Berryhill American Legion Post 165 baseball team on winning 
the American Legion World Series on Tuesday, August 18, 2009. They have 
represented the state well with their perseverance and athleticism, and 
we are very proud of their national accomplishments.
  Berryhill's 11-4 win over the Medford, Oregon Mustangs completed a 
five-game unbeaten run through the World Series. This is Berryhill's 
first ever national championship.
  Additionally, Berryhill, a 19 and under travel team comprised of 
players from mid-Michigan and rooted in Midland, consistently outscored 
their opponents with strong hitting and solid defense throughout the 
series.
  Team members include: Cole Martin, Kenny Babinski, Jordon Herman, 
Larsen Cronkright, Garrett Yatch, Nate Kuehne, Jordon Dean, Sean 
Hartman, Alex Rapanos, Eric Dawson, Matt Cresswell, Kenton SanMiguel, 
Ryan Longsteth, Kyle O'Boyle, Ben Singer, Eric Peterson, Chad Mayle, 
Max Yatch, and Jake Enszer. The team's coaching staff includes Dan 
Cronkright, and Patrick Dawson, while Steve Cronkright serves as the 
team manager.
  I am honored today to recognize the Midland Berryhill American Legion 
Post 165 baseball team for their accomplishments, and congratulate them 
on their outstanding performance.
