       MOUNTAIN HOME BOMB SQUAD GLOBAL WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Mountain 
Home AAA 11-year-old baseball team for winning the Global World Series 
Championship earlier this year.
  During the 4-day, 24-team tournament, the Mountain Home Bomb Squad 
suffered a first round loss, but went on to win six straight games. In 
the championship game, they defeated the Missouri Wildcats 10-1. This 
championship is a great source of pride for the entire Mountain Home, 
Arkansas, community.
  I'd like to commend the team manager, Dr. Eric Arp, and Coaches Tony 
Dibble and George Sitkowski for their leadership on the 11-and-under 
Global World Series Championship. Additionally, I would like to 
recognize players Garrett Steelman, Austin Mize, Clayton McManness, 
Luke Dibble, Sam Arp, Bradley Ludwig, Austin Helms, Luke Jackson, 
Jordan Anderson, Will Sitkowski and Luke Kruse for their leadership as 
well.
  Now that the Bomb Squad has brought a Global World Series trophy home 
to Mountain Home, I have no doubt that the players will set new, even 
higher goals to achieve.
  Congratulations once again to the Mountain Home Bomb Squad and the 
entire Mountain Home community for their Global World Series victory.
