Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud alumnus of St. Rita High School in Chicago to celebrate their baseball team's first championship victory.
In a historic night of eight innings, the St. Rita Mustangs persevered and made history with a 12-11 score.
of this wild game and watch it. This was one for the books. The game had it all. There was suspense and shock when the Mustangs thought they had won, but the umpire ruled that the catcher had dropped the ball. It had anxiety when the game resumed. With the State title on the line, the rival team tied it, forcing it to extra innings. It had relief and joy when St. Rita secured the victory.
The Mustangs gave it their all. Their determination and hard work got them the victory that they had been chasing for 4 years in a row.
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Mustangs. They deserve this victory.
