Republicans beat Democrats in this year’s annual Congressional Baseball Game.
The 13-2 victory was the fifth in a row for the Republicans, according to Axios.
Axios noted that since 1962, Republicans have won 38 games, while Democrats have won 23 games. The games have been played since the 1900s, with the media sometimes taking part.
There was no game in 2020 due to COVID lockdowns. There was one tie in 1983.

The big winner this year was the Congressional Sports for Charity Foundation, which raised $2.8 million, a record.
The game’s first inning almost went badly for Republicans when the Democrats had the bases loaded with two outs, according to Fox News.
However, Rep. August Pfluger of Texas, a Republican playing third base, got the ball heading for left field and then tagged the base to end the inning.
Have you ever watched this charity Congressional Baseball Game?
Look at the spectacular stop and diving tag by Republican Rep. @AugustPfluger to get the out. ATHLETE.

Williams played in the minor leagues and was head coach for Texas Christian University for a year.
Steube said Williams had insisted on rigorous practice for the past four months.
“We start 5:45 in the morning, every day that we’re here, minus fly-in,” he said.
Proud to have been selected MVP for this year’s Congressional Baseball Game!

Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Republican from Georgia, said Williams made the decision to have the GOP team wear MAGA hats.
“I think the president liked it,” Clyde said.
