WASHINGTON, D.C. — United States Representative August Pfluger (TX-11), and San Angelo native, is ready to go in the Congressional Baseball Game Wednesday night at Nationals Park just southeast of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Pfluger’s office sent out a message before tonight’s game.
“Pfluger will pitch and play 3rd base on the Republican team. Last year, Pfluger was named MVP of the Republican team after striking out four Democrats—including Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff. He went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs,” Pfluger’s office said. “While playing in the field, he had four putouts at 1st, including throwing Rep. Eric Swalwell out with a laser from the 3rd baseline. Pfluger was instrumental in securing a 10-0 Republican win over the Democrats—the first Republican shut-out in 27 years.”
