Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fredericksburg Nationals for winning the Carolina League baseball championship. On Wednesday night, the FredNats won the third and deciding game of the Carolina League championship series. The FredNats took the series 3-0, securing the franchise's first league crown since relocating to Fredericksburg in 2020. This run was no easy task, and at every game, the FredNats showed us that championships are won with passion, grit, and teamwork. I must admit that I had the opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the FredNats earlier this season, and after that, I definitely knew that we should leave baseball to the pros. As the Representative for Virginia's Seventh District, I congratulate our Fredericksburg Nationals--the players, coaches, staff, and fans-- for a terrific season and this incredible achievement. We couldn't be prouder. ____________________
