Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and am incredibly proud to recognize the outstanding achievement of the Bald Eagle Area High School baseball team.

On June 13 at Penn State's Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, this team recaptured the PIAA crown after defeating Tri-Valley 11-3. BEA completed its season with an impressive 25-2 record.

Before the State tournament, BEA was ranked as the Commonwealth's top high school baseball team, regardless of classification.

After a rough first inning, BEA, led by star pitcher Weston McClain, shifted the momentum in their favor. Third baseman Carson Nagle was able to capitalize on the momentum shift with two hits, two runs, and an RBI.

Mr. Speaker, as a graduate of Bald Eagle Area High School, I congratulate the team and Coach Gardner on their hard work and impressive season. The team exceeded lofty expectations while proudly representing the 15th District of Pennsylvania.

Congratulations, again, on this outstanding season. Go Eagles.
