SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 486
|
 
|
             WHEREAS, The Pearland Little League All-Stars baseball |
 
|
team achieved great distinction by advancing to the 2022 Little |
 
|
League Baseball World Series, held August 17 through 28 in |
 
|
Williamsport, Pennsylvania; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, A group of talented 12-and-under ballplayers, the |
 
|
All-Stars began their journey by winning the District 15, |
 
|
Section  3, and Texas East titles; Pearland then turned in a |
 
|
triumphant performance at the Southwest Region Championship in |
 
|
Waco; in the finals, the squad defeated Oklahoma 9-4 to claim a |
 
|
berth in the Little League World Series for the fourth time in the |
 
|
history of the Pearland program; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, In their opening world series contest on August |
 
|
18, the All-Stars scored six runs in the fifth inning against the |
 
|
team from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, to secure an 8-3 win; |
 
|
Pearland dropped its second game in the double elimination |
 
|
tournament but shut out Davenport, Iowa, 4-0 to keep its hopes |
 
|
alive; in a rematch with Hollidaysburg in their next game, the |
 
|
Texas players blasted three home runs for an 8-4 victory; facing |
 
|
the Nolensville, Tennessee, squad on August 25 with a trip to the |
 
|
United States championship game on the line, the All-Stars turned |
 
|
in a valiant effort but ultimately saw their unforgettable season |
 
|
come to an end; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, Pearland |
 
|
benefited from the valuable contributions made throughout its |
 
|
campaign by each member of the roster: Malachi Clark, Ford Hill, |
 
|
Jacob Zurek, Cooper Arbaugh, Austin Cummings, Landon Karel, |
 
|
Ethan Richardson, Cohen Hartman, Corey Kahn, Jacolby Mayberry, |
 
|
Jackson Wolfe, Manny Castillo, and Kaiden Shelton; these |
 
|
determined athletes were ably guided by coaches Andrew Solomon |
 
|
and Robb Zurek and manager Aaron Cummings; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, The members of the Pearland Little League |
 
|
All-Stars proudly represented their city and state in one of the |
 
|
premier showcases for youth athletics, and they will treasure |
 
|
their memories of this achievement for many years to come; now, |
 
|
therefore, be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
 
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Pearland Little League |
 
|
All-Stars on advancing to the 2022 Little League Baseball World |
 
|
Series and extend to the team's players and coaches sincere best |
 
|
wishes for the future; and, be it further |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
 
|

|
Texas Senate. |
