Thursday night, the Democrats bested the Republicans 11-2 in the annual Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park, though the outcome of the game is secondary.
The game was played one day after a gunman opened fire at a Republican practice, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and three others. David Bailey, an officer wounded in the attack, threw out the first pitch:
Democrat manager and Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Doyle was presented with the winning trophy after the game, which he gave to Texas Rep. Joe Barton, the Republican manager. The trophy will be put into Scalise's office.
