On Thursday night, the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity in Washington, DC, got delayed by rain. But the Republican lawmakers made it to victory. They were already ahead since the beginning and were up 4 to the Democrats' 0 in the fourth inning. The friendly contest finally came to an end, with Republicans scoring a 10. The winning team first took hold of the Nationals Park field, where Washington Nationals play. The players wore jerseys from their respective districts or state teams. 

Nancy Pelosi, the house speaker and the coach for the Democratic team, said in an interview with Fox News' Chad Pregram said, "This game is so great and people are so nice," she said. "That's what makes it great that we're competitive and it's great to be here and have a little fun. Sometimes I coach, sometimes I'm the umpire. I have my point of view. But it's always fun," She added that they keep setting their differences aside because of comradery and the love of the players for baseball.
