2007 Congressional Baseball Game Recap

June 28th, 2007 by Jack's Interns

 

 As we expected, the GOP pulled out another victory with a 5-2 win over the Democrats Tuesday night in the 2007 Congressional Baseball game.  The Republican win streak has been extended to six in a row. 

Each year, we reiterate how Jack and his fellow Republicans continue to dominate due to a veteran team with exquisite coaching, great pitching, consistent hitting and flawless fielding.  This year was no exception.

The Democrats started the game off hot with an early lead, but the persistent Republicans fought back with a big rally in the third inning and brilliant pitching by Illinois Rep. John Shimkus.  Despite Jack’s nagging injury to his ribcage, he received nearly two innings of playing time at second base in the fifth and sixth innings. He took the field wearing the uniform of the Savannah Chain.

Jack helped his team to victory by aiding in two quick outs in the fifth inning due to his suave fielding skills.  The Republicans will also be the first to remark on the fact that their desire to win was multiplied when the roar of their fans dwarfed that of the Democrats.

It’s nothing new to those who know Jack’s fan base, but his fans stuck out in the crowd like a soar thumb with loud chants and elaborate signs in support of Jack and the GOP.  We can say that his year’s game was nothing less than a huge success….at least if you’re a Republican.
