CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, University of North Texas softball player Hope
  Trautwein earned a place in the school's record books with her
  flawless pitching performance on April 11, 2021; and
         WHEREAS, Taking the mound for the opening game of a
  doubleheader at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff,
  Ms. Trautwein threw the first perfect game in UNT softball history,
  striking out all 21 batters she faced in the 3-0 win; she allowed no
  walks and no hits and delivered what is believed to be the first
  unblemished NCAA Division I seven-inning performance in which every
  out was a strikeout; moreover, her accomplishment marked only the
  second perfect game ever recorded in Conference USA softball
  competition; and
         WHEREAS, Ms. Trautwein has now hurled three collegiate
  no-hitters, and she has also struck out 21 batters in a single
  contest on three occasions; she leads UNT in numerous statistical
  categories and is an All-Conference First Team selection; a former
  standout player at Hendrickson High School in Pflugerville, she was
  a two-time All-District pick and was selected as the league Pitcher
  of the Year in 2017 after leading the Hawks to the regional
  quarterfinals of the state playoffs; and
         WHEREAS, By achieving the rare feat of throwing a perfect
  game, Hope Trautwein has distinguished herself as one of the top
  pitchers in college softball, and she may indeed reflect with pride
  on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby congratulate Hope Trautwein on pitching a perfect game in
  which she struck out all 21 opposing batters and extend to her
  sincere best wishes for continued success as a member of the
  University of North Texas softball team; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Trautwein as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
