Ernst Plays in Final Congressional Baseball Game

Team GOP delivers crushing blow to Democrats

WASHINGTON - Last night, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) helped Team GOP secure its sixth consecutive victory in the Congressional Baseball Game, winning 11-2.

Iowa was well represented on the field, with Reps. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa) and Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) playing alongside Ernst, who serves as a pinch hitter and runner for Team GOP and is one of only two senators on the Republican team.

"Whether I'm on the Senate floor or the baseball field, I'm always fighting to bring home wins for Iowa," said Ernst. "It was bittersweet playing in my final Congressional Baseball Game, but Randy, Mariannette, and I brought our A-game to help Team GOP defend its championship title and secure another victory."
