CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, In an exceptional performance in the first series of
the 2009 baseball season, Leo Aguirre of Austin helped his New
Mexico State University baseball team complete a three-game sweep
of the University of North Dakota on February 20 and 21; and
WHEREAS, When Mr. Aguirre took his place in left field for the
Aggies in Friday's opening game, it was the beginning of his junior
season of college ball; he wasted no time in showing that he was
ready for action by reaching base four times, batting in a run, and
scoring two runs as his team began 2009 with a 15-4 victory; and
WHEREAS, The final two matchups of the series were played as a
doubleheader on Saturday; in the first game, Mr. Aguirre led the New
Mexico State attack, hitting three home runs and a double in six
at-bats; this breakout performance was a major factor in the
Aggies' commanding 16-2 win and greatly pleased head coach Rocky
Ward; and
WHEREAS, New Mexico State completed the series sweep by
taking Saturday's second game by a score of 12-6; once again, Mr.
Aguirre had a productive game at the plate, accumulating three hits
and two RBIs and also scoring two runs; and
WHEREAS, This talented Texan is the son of Lionel B. Aguirre
and the late Lena Guerrero; he attended James Bowie High School in
Austin, where he garnered all-district, all-Central Texas, and
all-state honors for his outstanding play for the Bulldogs baseball
team; in 2006, he enrolled at New Mexico State and has been a
valuable member of the Aggies squad since his freshman season; and
WHEREAS, An exceptional player who has proven his abilities
in college competition, Leo Aguirre is furthering the Lone Star
State's reputation for producing superior athletes, and he is
poised for additional achievements in the games that lie ahead;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby congratulate Leo Aguirre on his fine performance with the
New Mexico State University baseball team in the opening series of
the 2009 season and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Aguirre as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
