| WHEREAS, The Pearland Little League All-Stars baseball | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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 | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard from the | ||
