Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports from National Park on Thursday's annual Congressional baseball game on 'Special Report.'

Republican lawmakers emerged victorious at the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity in Washington, D.C., Thursday night, after a rain delay interrupted the game.

Republicans were up 4 to Democrats’ 0 in the 4th inning, ahead of the delay, and ultimately won the friendly contest shutting out their opponents 10 to 0.

The lawmakers first took to the Nationals Park field, where the Washington Nationals play. The game continued their annual bipartisan tradition since the first game was played in 1909.

The players wore jerseys from teams in their respective districts or states.
