  Whereas during the 2007 college baseball season, the Oregon
State University Beavers had a record of 49 wins and 18 losses,
beginning the season with a combined no-hitter; and
  Whereas the Beavers entered the National Collegiate Athletic
Association regional playoffs played in Charlottesville,
Virginia, defeating Rutgers, losing to the host team, the
University of Virginia, in extra innings and then in a
double-header defeated Rutgers, followed by a defeat of the
University of Virginia, before going on the next day to defeat
Virginia in the final game of the series; and
  Whereas the Beavers swept the Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA
super-regional playoffs played in Corvallis, with a one-hit 1-0
victory over the Wolverines, followed by another victory the next
day; and
  Whereas the Beavers then entered the NCAA College World Series
for the third time in three years; and
  Whereas the Beavers defeated Cal State Fullerton, Arizona State
University and the University of California, Irvine, with a
combined total of 22 runs against nine runs; and
  Whereas the Beavers went on to face the University of North
Carolina Tarheels in a rematch of the 2006 college championship
series, sweeping them in two games, 11-4 and 9-3; and
  Whereas throughout the entire College World Series the Beavers
never trailed another team, until the last game of the
championship series when North Carolina scored a single run in
the bottom of the first inning; and
  Whereas only minutes later, in the top of the second inning,
the Beavers scored two runs, retaking the lead and going on to
win the final game of the series 9-3; and
  Whereas the Oregon State University Beavers were the first team
to win back-to-back national baseball championships since 1997;
and
  Whereas the Oregon State University players and coaches
believed in themselves, believed in each other, played for the
love of the game and played the game as well as the game can be
played; now, therefore,
