WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Wednesday evening, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and members of Team Congress played against members of the Washington, D.C. press corps in the 2021 Congressional Women’s Softball Game.
The annual charity game raised more than $508,000, a new record, for the Young Survivor Coalition (YSC), an organization supporting young survivors and patients of breast cancer.
“The Congressional Softball Game is something I look forward to every year,” Team Captain and starting third baseman Senator Capito said. “It’s always a fun, friendly competition between members of Congress and the press, but more importantly it brings awareness about early detection and prevention of breast cancer, and raises money for an important cause. Despite the final result not going our way this year, the night was truly a success for everyone involved.”
The Press Team defeated Team Congress by a score of 5-1. Senator Capito had the lone Run Batted In (RBI) for her team.
