A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA SUMTER BASEBALL TEAM FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2015 NATIONAL JUNIOR COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION EASTERN DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to learn that the University of South Carolina Sumter (USCS) baseball team took top honors at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Eastern District championship held at Mitchell Athletic Complex in Uniondale, New York, on Sunday, May 17, 2015; and
Whereas, USCS defeated the Potomac State College Catamounts from West Virginia in a decisive second game following Potomac’s 5-2 win in the opening game; and
Whereas, after letting the Eastern District trophy slip from their grasp in 2014, the USC Sumter Fire Ants were determined to take the title this year; and
Whereas, Sumter’s sophomore right-hander, Victor Gonzalez, allowed only one run on one hit through the first six innings to maintain a 3-1 lead in the winner-take-all contest; and
Whereas, after the Catamounts loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh inning and scored one run on a RBI ground-out, the Fire Ants responded by striking out the next batter and ending the inning with a ground-out on a fielder’s choice; and

Whereas, the Fire Ants scored an insurance run in the eighth inning and held the Catamounts to two scoreless innings to win the title 4-2; and
Whereas, Justin Hawkins and Tee Dubose each scored two runs for Sumter in the championship game while Dillon Heffner and Fred Wadsworth provided big hits; and
Whereas, the NJCAA Eastern District title earned the Fire Ants a berth at the Junior College World Series for the first time in the baseball program’s history; and
Whereas, Head Coach Tim Medlin and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their athletic ability and training to forge this championship team, teaching these baseball players valuable life lessons; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the honor and distinction that the USC Sumter baseball players have brought to their university and our State and look to hear of their continued success in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognizes and honors the members of the University of South Carolina Sumter baseball team for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2015 National Junior College Athletic Association Eastern District Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Tim Medlin.
