Missouri GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt hit the dirt Wednesday night at Nationals Park \u2014 and came up bloody. But the Republican senator\u2019s dive-and-snag in left field was just the highlight reel moment in another merciless GOP dismantling of the Democrats, 11-2, the sixth consecutive Republican victory in the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.<\/p>\n

Schmitt opened his face going full stretch for a ball that had no business being caught. He got it anyway. That, in a nutshell, is the difference between these two teams right now.<\/p>\n

Left it all on the field.<\/p>\n

Republicans win 11-2<\/p>\n

\u2014 Eric Schmitt (@Eric_Schmitt) June 11, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Republicans play baseball disciplined, hungry, and willing to bleed for it. Democrats play like they govern: full of optimism, short on execution.<\/p>\n

Not including players lost by elections, the GOP rolled out the exact same starting lineup that crushed the Democrats 13-2 last year because why mess with a winning formula? Florida Rep. Greg Steube took the hill and was virtually unhittable, going the distance and fanning five. Meanwhile, Democratic starter Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania kept decent control \u2014 until a wild throw on a routine grounder in the second let two more GOP runners score. Poor fielding haunted the Dems all night. By the end of the fourth, Republicans led 11-0.<\/p>\n

The Democrats did manage to hit the ball. They just couldn\u2019t do anything with it. A Morgan McGarvey ground-rule double in the fourth ended in an out at the plate. Rep. Dave Min drove in two runs on an RBI single to give the libs something to cheer about. That was about it.<\/p>\n

More than 32,000 fans packed the park \u2014 blowing past the average Nationals attendance this season of about 22,000 \u2014 and raised a record $3.2 million for charity, up from last year\u2019s record $2.8 million. After every GOP big play, the conservative faithful erupted in a chant of \u201cU.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!\u201d<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the broader point. Republicans don\u2019t just play America\u2019s game better \u2014 they respect<\/em> it better.<\/p>\n

Remember October 30, 2001 \u2014 49 days after 9\/11 \u2014 when George W. Bush walked to the Yankee Stadium mound in a bulletproof vest hidden under an FDNY fleece, with a Secret Service agent disguised as an umpire, and drilled a perfect strike before a stunned, grieving nation? That pitch didn\u2019t just open a World Series game. It told New York City \u2014 and every terrorist watching \u2014 that America was still standing.<\/p>\n

Contrast that with Barack Obama \u2014 the same person who claimed he was a Chicago White Sox fan who attended games at \u201cKaminsky Field\u201d (the park\u2019s name at the time was \u201cComiskey Park\u201d) and short-armed a fluttery arc that forced the catcher to lunge. A president who throws like that manages the country like that.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night, the GOP played like Bush pitched that night. Hard, accurate, and straight down the middle \u2014 even if it cost them a bloody nose.<\/p>\n

The series record now stands at 48 wins for Republicans and 42 for Democrats, with one tie. The streak started in 1909. America\u2019s been keeping score ever since.<\/p>\n
