  DISTRICT 16 LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR NORTHFIELD, NEW 
                                 JERSEY

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, Northfield, New Jersey's Little League 
baseball team, a little while back, won their second straight District 
16 Little League baseball title.
  Their pitcher, Finn Haines, who was selected to compete in the Little 
League Derby in Atlanta, pitched their final two innings to clinch the 
win.
  Brady Arena, their leadoff hitter, scored their winning run, ensuring 
that Northfield beat Ocean City 3-2.
  The District 16 baseball teams are made up of 11-and 12-year-olds in 
Atlantic and Cape May Counties in south Jersey, and winning this title 
means that Northfield advanced to the Section 4 tournament.
  When they won, the Northfield team ran a victory lap around the field 
holding the District 16 championship banner in pride, along with the 
United States flag.
  So to all players on the team: Congratulations on your win. You have 
exciting futures ahead of you. I am sure you have many, many more wins 
to come.
