Democrats beat Republicans 21-5 at annual Congressional Baseball Game

[100% pro-life no matter what]

The only year I was in attendance was the only year in recent memory the Republicans won:

Final score: GOP 8, Democrats 7

Tom Rooney hit a walkoff single to right field to win the game.  The GOP led 6-1 after 5 innings, but the Democrats took advantage of Republican errors to take the lead in the 6th, 7-6.  Then, in the bottom of the 7th (of a 7-inning game), the donkeys replaced star pitcher Cedric Richmond when he was in a jam, replacing him with Patrick Murphy.  With a runner on third and two outs in a 7-7 game, under a chorus of "Marco Rubio" chants from the GOP faithful, Murphy buckled and let Rooney be the hero.

CONTEXT: Marco Rubio had just announced the day before that he was running for re-election, significantly hurting Patrick Murphy's prospects of winning a Senate seat.

Wow. While overall that's small potatoes, in an event specifically designed to be a bi-partisan day away from politics, that chant was kind of a dick move.

There were chants going back and forth, but it certainly felt like more of a friendly rivalry than politics normally does.

this is a way higher score than usually occurs in Baseball.  Most of the time, the winning team gets about 3 points, and the losing team about 1 point.

Please do not provide any input if you think it's a "point"

Also, 3-1 is a pretty low-scoring baseball game
