             CONGRATULATING THE MARLTON REDS BASEBALL TEAM

 Mr. MENENDEZ. Madam President, I wish to honor the 12 young 
athletes of the Marlton Reds 10-and-Under Baseball Team from Evesham 
Township, NJ for their commendable victory at the 2014 Cal Ripken 10-
Year-Old World Series on August 16, 2014. Led by the unwavering 
leadership of Manager Robert Reynolds, Coach Mark Bergstrom, and Coach 
Joe Morgan, the Marlton Reds won the 2014 10-and-Under Babe Ruth/Cal 
Ripken Baseball New Jersey District 5 Championship, the New Jersey 
State Championship, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship, and the 10-
Year-Old Cal Ripken World Series. The twelve players of the Marlton 
Reds 10-and-Under Baseball Team that won the World Series are: Colby 
Reynolds, Jackson Edelman, Zach Weiner, Blake Weinstein, Chris 
Bonafiglia, Adrian Hernandez, Aaron Bergstrom, Blake Morgan, Raymond 
Stutzer, Josh Free, Ryan Furman, and Ethan Stith.
  These wonderful young athletes have displayed the hard work and 
dedication that make goals and dreams attainable. Throughout their 
victorious season, the Marlton Reds garnered the support of their 
community, receiving countless donations to help them travel to 
Winchester, VA for the World Series tournament. Upon arrival, the 
Marlton Reds won all 6 of their games, including the Cal Ripken 10-and-
Under Championship Game against a very talented team from Southeastern 
Lexington, KY by a score of 9 to 1. While every member of the Marlton 
Reds played exceptionally well, Blake Morgan made the All World Series 
Team while winning the World Series Batting Title and Most Outstanding 
Player award, while Jackson Edelman made the All World Series Team and 
the All Defensive Team.
  I would also like to applaud the parents, coaches, and volunteers 
that work tirelessly to ensure athletes like the 12 members of the 
Marlton Reds have a place to grow and achieve in sports and in life. It 
is through the commitment of the entire community that our youth will 
develop into champions, both on and off the field. I commend the 
Marlton Reds 10-and-Under Baseball Team, as well as the people of 
Evesham Township who supported them throughout the season, for winning 
the Cal Ripken 10-Year-Old World Series.
