A senate RESOLUTION

To honor and recognize the Pineview Diamond Youth 
Coach Pitch Baseball team and coaches on a remarkable season and to 
congratulate them on representing South Carolina and winning the 2025 Diamond 
Youth Baseball Division II 8U Coach Pitch World Series Championship. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate were delighted to hear that representing South 
Carolina, the Pineview Diamond Youth Coach Pitch baseball team won the 2025 
Diamond Youth Baseball Division II 8U World Series Championship, held in Dunn, 
North Carolina; and

Whereas, the Diamond Youth 
Baseball Pineview Coach Pitch team is made up of a talented group of seven- and 
eight-year-olds that included Landry Marchant, Lucas Ward, Luke Faulkenberry, 
Grayson Thomas, Hank Brurok, Christian Zaengle, Lukas Waters, Noah Lawson, 
Tyler Olson, Daxton Lloyd, Hunter Mackles and Brayden Lodge. This past season, 
they rallied behind the saying "Find a Way," determined, no matter what, to 
find a way to win it all. They put in countless hours of hard work, practicing 
four or five days a week in the heat of the summer. Their hard work paid off with 
an impressive 18-0 record over three tournaments to be crowned Diamond Youth Baseball 
Division II 8U World Series Champions; and

Whereas, these young 
athletes were led to the Diamond Youth Baseball Division II 8U World Series win 
by a talented and dedicated coaching staff made up of Brandon Marchant, Mike 
Marsh, Joey Brurok, Chris Waters, Matt Lloyd, and Dale Ward. The lessons that 
this skilled coaching staff have taught their team will continue to shape them 
on and off the field; and

Whereas, on Thursday, 
June 12, 2025, the team traveled to Gaston to play Gaston's Division II Coach Pitch 
team in the District 4 Championship game. Showing up with an excellent 
defensive performance, they clinched the District 4 Championship title with a 
10-0 victory. They finished the district tournament 5-0 scoring 60 runs while 
only allowing eight runs; and

Whereas, next they 
competed in the Diamond Youth Baseball South Carolina Division II Coach Pitch 
State Tournament in Orangeburg. On the opening Saturday of the state 
tournament, the Pineview Coach Pitch team went 2-0 with a combined score of 
37-3. On Sunday, Pineview faced off against Lower Florence, coming out on top 
15-0. On Monday of the tournament, Pineview played Hartsville National, coming 
away with a 16-1 victory, which led them to play Saluda in a night-cap. It was 
a battle of two great teams with Pineview coming away with a 7-1 victory, advancing 
them to the 2025 Diamond Youth Baseball South Carolina Division II State 
Championship game and a rematch with Lower Florence. Pineview came out on top 
with an 11-6 victory, finishing the state tournament 6-0, scoring 86 runs and 
allowing 11. This win secured the team's chance to represent the State of South 
Carolina in the 2025 Diamond Youth Baseball Division II 8U World Series; and

Whereas, team South 
Carolina traveled to Dunn, North Carolina, to play in the World Series, playing 
tremendous defense throughout its seven games against Mississippi, Virginia (3 
games), North Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida. In the tournament, they allowed 
only 15 runs, and went 7-0, capturing the 2025 Diamond Youth Baseball Division II 
8U World Series Championship. With this victory, Team South Carolina secured 
the first Coach Pitch World Series Championship in program history for Pineview 
Diamond Youth Baseball; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate value the pride and recognition that the Pineview 
Diamond Youth Coach Pitch baseball team has brought to the Pineview Diamond 
Youth Baseball program, their community, and the State of South Carolina. The 
members look forward to hearing of these young athletes future achievements in 
the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
honor and recognize the Pineview Diamond Youth Coach Pitch baseball team and 
coaches on a remarkable season and congratulate them on representing South 
Carolina and winning the 2025 Diamond Youth Baseball Division II 8U Coach Pitch 
World Series Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pineview Diamond Youth Coach 
Pitch Head Coach Brandon Marchant.
