Sponsored by Representatives MATTHEWS, GORSEK, Senator MONNES

  Whereas in 2012, Gresham National Little League earned its
first berth in the Little League Baseball World Series after
winning the championship game of the Northwest Region Tournament
in an 8-4 victory over Post Falls Little League in San
Bernardino, California; and
  Whereas in the summer leading up to the Little League Baseball
World Series, Gresham National Little League won district and
state championships, earning its spot in the regional
championship game with a 6-2 win over top seed Mercer Island
Little League in one semifinal game; and
  Whereas Gresham National Little League showed admirable
dedication, perseverance and team spirit as it fought back from
losses at the state and regional championship levels; and
  Whereas Gresham National Little League is the first team from
Gresham Barlow Little League to earn a berth in the Little League
Baseball World Series and only the fourth team from Oregon to do
so; and
  Whereas Gresham National Little League's push ended on August
18, 2012, after a loss to Par Troy East Little League at Lamade
Stadium in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in which Gresham
fought hard to the end; and
  Whereas the 2012 Gresham National Little League team was
composed of Devon Bratcher, Brett Falkner, Hunter Hemenway, Tyler
Linch, Ethan Marshall, Ethan Meckel, Greg Mehlhaff, Tyler
Pederson, Ethan Rose, Ezra Samperi and Christian Turner and
played under the leadership of manager Jason Trickel and
assistant coaches Craig Hemenway and Dave Mehlhaff; and
  Whereas with the support of their parents and their community,
the members of the 2012 Gresham National Little League team
evinced indomitable spirit and athleticism in their pursuit of
excellence, making Oregonians proud as the team took to the
international stage; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:

  That we, the members of the Seventy-seventh Legislative
Assembly, commend the outstanding athletic and community
achievement of the 2012 Gresham National Little League team.
