                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 24, 2018

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the Tunkhannock 
Tigers Little League Softball Team for their outstanding performance in 
the 2018 Little League Softball World Series.
  The Tunkhannock Tigers had an impressive run in this year' s 
tournament. They were the No. 1 seed in the quarterfinal game and 
ultimately advanced to the championship, where they fought hard but 
suffered a loss to a team from Wheelersburg, Ohio. Throughout the 
entire series, they showed an impressive level of poise and 
determination.
  These exceptional athletes serve as an example for not only aspiring 
female athletes, but for all Pennsylvania youths. Their talent and 
dedication are a great source of pride for the community and state at 
large, as they were the only team from Pennsylvania in the tournament. 
I am honored to represent the Tunkhannock Tigers. I know these young 
women have bright futures ahead of them and will go on to accomplish 
great things.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Tunkhannock Tigers 
Little League Softball Team and congratulating these athletes on their 
hard fought second place finish in the 2018 Little League Softball 
World Series.

                          ____________________
