"Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Campbellsville University Baseball Team on their outstanding performance this season.  They demonstrated extraordinary athletic and academic achievement that brought national attention to Campbellsville University, the Campbellsville and Taylor County communities, and all of Kentucky’s Second District.

"Under the leadership of head coach Beauford Sanders and his staff, the Campbellsville University Baseball Team reached the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) World Series for the first time in school history.  The Tigers reached the NAIA World Series following a tremendous performance by senior pitcher Bryan Fuller.  Mr. Fuller pitched 21 scoreless innings in 26 hours to give the team three straight victories that propelled them to the highest level of competition in their league.

"The team finished the season with a remarkable 39-12 record.  Coach Sanders reached a noteworthy milestone this season as well by reaching 835 career wins for his tenure.  Coach Sanders and his staff should be commended for providing leadership, direction, and encouragement to these student athletes.
