TRIBUTE TO MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY BASEBALL TEAM
Congressional Record Vol. 167, No. 127
(Senate - July 20, 2021) PDF
Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Mr. President, I am so pleased to join my colleague
in congratulating Mississippi State University's baseball team on its
recent 2021 NCAA College World Series championship, the first NCAA
championship in school history.
Mississippi State capped off its extraordinary season by defeating an
incredibly talented Vanderbilt University team 9 to 0 in game 3. My
house was full. We were all cheering. Their impressive and remarkable
run through this year's College World Series is a testament to the rich
tradition of the MSU baseball program, which has now appeared in 12
NCAA College World Series in its history, including most recently 3
consecutive series. The inspiring performance of this baseball team
continues to be celebrated all over our State. Maroon is everywhere.
I truly appreciate the hard work, skill, and dedication that earned
these athletes the first NCAA Division I baseball championship for
Mississippi State, which are aptly described in the accompanying
resolution.
We take pride in the legacy and inspiring example of these young men
and their coaches. Thank you for such a wonderful and historic season.
Hail State.
(Rings cowbell.)
I yield the floor.
