|
WHEREAS, Eric Godat, a member of the baseball team at Woodrow |
|
|
Wilson High School in Dallas, accomplished a rare feat by pitching |
|
|
two consecutive no-hitters in April 2007; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Godat completed the first no-hitter against |
|
|
district rival Spruce High School in dramatic style, deflecting a |
|
|
hard-hit grounder, scooping it up, and backhanding the ball to |
|
|
first baseman Jordan Pleasants to record the game's final out and |
|
|
complete an 8-0 victory for the Wildcats; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The pitcher's second "no-no," which came in a |
|
|
dominating 12-0, five-inning win over Samuell High School, brought |
|
|
additional recognition to the talented hurler and earned him a |
|
|
well-deserved place in the annals of Texas high school sports; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pitching a single no-hitter is an accomplishment |
|
|
that many pitchers never experience, and by throwing consecutive |
|
|
hitless games, Eric Godat has given himself, his teammates, and the |
|
|
coaches and fans of Woodrow Wilson High School a memory that will |
|
|
last a lifetime; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Eric Godat on pitching two |
|
|
consecutive no-hitters and extend best wishes to this gifted |
|
|
student-athlete for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Eric Godat as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
