A house RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE THE LANCASTER DIXIE BASEBALL 6U ROOKIE ALL-STARS ON WINNING THE 2023 EAST REGIONAL DIXIE YOUTH BASEBALL COACH PITCH CLASS A WORLD SERIES.

 

Whereas, baseball is a game of speed, power, precision, and agility, but to excel in baseball, a team must combine these talents with teamwork and good sportsmanship; and

 

Whereas, the Lancaster All-Stars won six games and lost only one game to capture the Lancaster Dixie Youth Baseball program's first World Series championship in sixty-five years of play; and

 

Whereas, the Lancaster 6U All-Stars seized the title by a score of 11-3 over Perry, Georgia, at the Rockwood Sports Complex in Tennessee on Sunday, July 23, 2023; and

 

Whereas, the big win came as a result of the hard work, determination, and talent of every player on the team, as well as that of their coaches; and

 

Whereas, ably coached to the top of the 6U mountain by Joel Allen, assisted by Lael Allen, Garrett Johnson, Keli Thomas, and Shawn Thomas, Coach Joel Allen's equally skillful assistant coaches, the members of the championship team are Wyle Allen, Caine Bass, Reid Blackmon, Noah Croxton, Creighton Eubanks, Carson Faile, J.J. Kennedy, Sawyer Lehman, Rhett Melton, Jayden Robinson, and Colton Thomas; and

 

Whereas, further, during the series, the Lancaster All-Stars outscored their opponents by a whopping 72-35; and

 

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives pauses to recognize the accomplishments and dedication of these fine athletes and their coaches and to salute them on their success. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Lancaster Dixie Baseball 6U Rookie All-Stars on winning the 2023 East Regional Dixie Youth Baseball Coach Pitch Class A World Series.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Joel Allen of the Lancaster 6U All-Stars.
