Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, today I rise with great pride to congratulate the Price, Utah, Battle 13u youth baseball team. This talented group of 13-year-old baseball players from Carbon and Emery Counties won the Pacific Southwest Regional, advancing to the Babe Ruth World Series. They are only the third Utah team to do so in the 75-year history of the tournament.

The Price Battle team won third place at the championship, making history for our community while competing on the national stage. Price Battle also took home the most awards for the tournament, including one player with the best batting average for the World Series, two players making the All-World Offensive Team, and three players making the All- World Defensive Team.

Not only did the team play well, but they also showed excellent character and conduct, earning the prestigious Heart of the Babe Ruth Sportsmanship Award. This combination of skill, hard work, and character is something our entire State of Utah can cheer for.

Congratulations to the team and their coaches on an incredible season and for making Price and Utah proud. We can't wait to see what they do next.
