With their sixth consecutive win, Republicans have secured a baseball dynasty, at least on the congressional level.
The GOP clobbered Democrats 11-2 at Wednesday night’s Congressional Baseball Game, buoyed by bad fielding and hot base running.
Conservatives kept a steady hand on the tiller and ran the exact same starting lineup as in 2025. That lineup was a winner, as Republicans smashed the liberals that year, 13-2.
Republicans got off to a strong start in the first inning, putting a run on the board thanks to Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt’s speedy baserunning. Likewise, starting pitcher Greg Steube, R-Fla., held Democratic bats at bay through the first two innings.
Starter Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., kept good control on the mound, but a wild throw on a routine groundball in the second inning allowed the GOP to tack on two more runs. Poor fielding is a theme at this level of play and would plague the Democrats throughout the evening.
