WASHINGTON, D.C. — On the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger recognized the Fredericksburg Nationals (FredNats) for winning the Carolina League Championship.

Last week, the FredNats took home their first league crown since relocating to Fredericksburg, Virginia in 2020. Spanberger congratulated players and coaches, recognized staff and fans for their support in this achievement, and celebrated the team’s incredible season and championship run.

I rise today to recognize the Fredericksburg Nationals for winning the Carolina League baseball championship.

On Wednesday night, the FredNats won the third and deciding game of the Carolina League Championship Series.

The FredNats took the series three to zero — securing the franchise’s first league crown since relocating to Fredericksburg in 2020.

This run was no easy task, and at every game, the FredNats showed us that championships are won with passion, grit, and teamwork.

I must admit that I had the opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the FredNats earlier this season — and after that, I definitely know that we should leave the baseball to the pros.

But, as the Representative for Virginia’s Seventh District, I would like to congratulate our Fredericksburg Nationals — the players, the coaches, the staff, and the fans —for a terrific season and this incredible achievement.

We couldn’t be prouder.

Congratulations again.
