Republicans Once Again Defeat Democrats in Congressional Baseball Game

Republicans dominated Democrats in Wednesday’s Congressional Baseball Game, 13-2, marking the GOP’s fifth consecutive win in the annual charity event.

Organizers sold more than 30,000 tickets for the game and reportedly raised more than $2.8 million, money that goes toward charities in the Washington, D.C., area.

Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), who was seriously injured in a ladder fall two years ago, pitched five innings for the GOP, striking out seven Democrats.
“I am going to take an ice bath tomorrow,” Steube quipped after the game.
The MVP award went to Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas), who made a spectacular diving catch to end the first inning after Democrats loaded the bases.
Pfluger’s close play went viral on social media. (NY Post)

Look at the spectacular stop and diving tag by Republican Rep. @AugustPfluger to get the out. ATHLETE.

Rep. Steve Scalise, who was shot in 2017 by a left-wing activist at a GOP practice, was first at bat.

The Congressional Baseball Game will always have special meaning to me. I am blessed that I was able to be the first at bat.

Team GOP is fired up and ready to win tonight. Let’s play ball! ⚾️ pic.twitter.com/LQqYmuxWQW

Tonight at the #CongressionalBaseballGame Republicans are wearing a patch, 6/14/17, in memory of when a Democrat showed up at the GOP baseball practice and attempted a mass murder. Most Americans don't know about this because the media doesn't report on Democrat violence. pic.twitter.com/8FazbyeVvl
