A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Irmo Little League 
baseball TEAM, COACHES, AND Players' families FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY SEASON AND 
TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR placing third nationally in the 2025 Little League 
World Series.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Irmo Little 
League team was one of nine teams nationally invited to participate in the 
Little League World Series, representing the Southeast region, held in Williamsport, 
Pennsylvania, from August 13, 2025, through August 24, 2025; and

Whereas, the Little 
League is a nonprofit organization run entirely on the local and district 
levels by dedicated volunteers. In Irmo four teams participate: Little League 
for ten, eleven, or twelve year olds; Intermediate League for eleven, twelve, or 
thirteen year olds; Junior League for twelve, thirteen, or fourteen year olds; 
and Senior League for twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen year olds; 
and

Whereas, the Irmo 
Intermediate League Baseball team had no district tournament, but the team won 
the state and region tournaments to advance to the Intermediate Baseball World 
Series in Livermore, California. The Irmo Senior League Baseball also had no district 
tournament, but that team won the state and regional tournaments to advance to 
the Senior League Baseball World Series in Easley. The Irmo Junior League 
Softball team won the district tournament, but had no state tournament, and the 
team won regional to advance to the Junior League Softball World Series in 
Kirkland, Washington; and

Whereas, the Irmo Little 
League team went undefeated in the district tournament in three games, never 
giving up a run. In the state tournament on Johns Island, Irmo won all four 
games, giving up only three runs in those games. In the regional tournament in 
Warner Robins, Georgia, Irmo competed against seven other state winners. Irmo 
lost its first game against Florida, putting the team in the losers' bracket. 
Irmo fought back to win the final game against Florida 5-4 to advance to the 
World Series; and

Whereas, Irmo Little 
League went 3-2 in the tournament ending as the third team in the United 
States, going further than any other South Carolina team in the World Series. 
The team started the tournament with a 13-0 win against a team from New 
England. In the next game, Irmo and Nevada stood at 0-0 at the end of 
regulation play, but Nevada managed to get one run to take the game 1-0 in the 
extra inning which put Irmo in the losers' bracket. Irmo battled back against 
South Dakota, but that game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. In the top 
of the extra inning, Irmo gave up five runs, making the score 1-6, but Irmo 
walked off with six runs to take the game 7-6. Against Hawaii's team, Irmo won 
3-0. Irmo lost its final game to Nevada 3-5; and

Whereas, the members of 
the Irmo Little League team included Ethan Bennett, Andrew Bogan, Brayden 
Gerard, Jacob Gibson, Joe Giulietti, Sutton Gravelle, Jake McQuilkin, Brody 
Miller, Palmer Steele, Ryder Tilitz, Preston Ware, and Brady Westbrooks; and

Whereas, these winning 
teams enjoyed twenty-three appearances on ESPN during their games in the World 
Series, showcasing the Town of Irmo before millions of Americans. The players will 
be honored by the Town of Irmo with a special event on September 3, 2025, and 
the four Irmo teams were honored by Governor Henry McMaster at the Governor's 
Mansion on September 10, 2025, for a special celebration; and

Whereas, Manager Dave 
Bogan and Coaches Mike Beckworth and Pat Gravelle capitalized on their athletic 
ability and experience to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these young 
athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the 
diamond; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the 
Irmo baseball and softball players have brought to their community, and the 
members look forward to following their continued achievements in the days 
ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and honor the Irmo Little League baseball team, 
coaches, and players' families for an extraordinary season and congratulate 
them for placing third nationally in the 2025 Little League World Series.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Manager Dave Bogan and Coaches 
Mike Beckworth and Pat Gravelle.
