Key Points:

- The GOP used the same starting lineup as in 2025, maintaining a disciplined approach that contributed to their continued dominance this decade.
- Despite Democrats outhitting Republicans early on, poor fielding and inability to convert hits into runs hindered their performance, while Republicans built an 11-0 lead by the fourth inning.
- The charity event broke fundraising and attendance records, raising over $3.2 million and drawing more than 32,000 fans to Nationals Park, surpassing average season attendance.
- Both teams wore matching uniforms for the first time in recent memory to honor America’s 250th anniversary, though Democrats plan to return to their traditional varied jerseys next year.
