Republican lawmakers emerged victorious over their Democrat counterparts in the 2025 Congressional baseball game — marking their fifth consecutive win.
On Wednesday, for the fifth year in a row, Republicans won the annual Congressional sports game, beating the Democrats 13-2.
Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.), 47, who was seriously injured in a ladder fall two years ago, pitched five innings, striking out seven Democrats.
“I am going to take an ice bath tomorrow,” Steube quipped after the game.
Additionally Representative August Pfluger (R-Texas) won MVP of the game, with his close play going viral on social media.
