                  GOP, Democrats Play Ball as Team Scalise





            Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., left, walks with Rep. Ryan Costello, R-Pa., before the Congressional baseball game, Thursday, June 15, 2017, in Washington. Republicans
            and Democrats fought for bragging rights Thursday night in their annual Congressional Baseball game, and did so as one unit — Team Scalise. The opposing sides
            paid tribute to Rep. Steve Scalise, the House majority whip who was critically wounded when a gunman opened fire at a Republican baseball practice in Virginia
            on Wednesday. Scalise was shot in the hip, and sustained grievous injuries as the bullet traveled through his pelvis and injured internal organs. Many of the players
            in the congressional game Thursday night wore Louisiana State University hats in honor of Scalise, a graduate of the school, as they assembled at Nationals Park in
            Washington for the big game. The annual GOP-Democrats baseball game raises money for charity.
