The Hill provided the full scoop on how Republicans came out on top:

Republican lawmakers continued their dominance in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity on Wednesday night at Nationals Park, topping the Democrats and extending the club’s winning streak to six consecutive seasons.

Behind a complete game performance that included five strikeouts and nearly 100 pitches on the mound from Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), the GOP played an error-free game, topping the Democrats 11-2 under the lights and in front of thousands of Capitol Hill staffers, sponsors, and their families.

The GOP got off to a hot start early when Rep. Jake Ellzey (R-Texas) opened the scoring with a two-out single in the first inning, scoring Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri), who had one of the most impressive defensive plays of the game three innings later.

Schmitt made a fourth-inning diving catch on a ball hit down the left field line and landed hard on the outfield grass, emerging from the ground with blood gushing from his nose and dirt covering the front of his jersey.

Schmitt, 50, stayed in the game and notched another hit before the annual clash between the GOP and Democrats on the diamond was over.

One of the Democrats’ top performers was Rep. Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.), who went two-for-three with a pair of singles and a double in a losing effort for his squad.
The Democrats struggled in the field, committing four errors but got solid defense in the infield from Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) at shortstop, who managed to haul in an over-the-shoulder grab of his own in the fifth inning.
The Dems were able to keep the game close until the fourth, when the GOP broke it open on a bases-clearing double by Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah) off relief pitcher Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), which made it 11-0.

Event organizers said the game, which began in 1909 and benefits a number of local charities, including the Boy and Girls Club of Greater Washington and the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund, sold 32,000 tickets and raised $3.2 million, a record in both categories.
