  • Republicans, led by coach Roger Williams, practiced daily since March and aim for a fifth straight victory after last year’s 31-11 win.
  • Democrats, under coach Linda Sánchez, added freshmen pitchers and sluggers like Dave Min, Johnny Olszewski and Derek Tran to deepen their bullpen.
  • Proceeds benefit Congressional Sports for Charity, which last year funneled over $2.2 million to local nonprofits such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington and the Capitol Police Memorial Fund.
