WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Usually in Washington it's Republicans and Democrats battling each other but on Thursday night they joined together to battle a common enemy: the Washington Press Corps.In the third annual Congressional Women's Softball game, members from both sides of the aisle came together to play the Capitol Hill Press Corps. The effort was to benefit the Young Survival Coalition, a group that assists young women facing breast cancer.The media women lost, 5-4.Rep. Laura Richardson, D-California, started things off with a three-run homerun in the first inning, but the press women came back to eventually tie things up in the top of the sixth inning, 4-4.The nail-biter went down to the bottom of the last inning, with two outs, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz got the game winning hit, driving in Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-California.Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a longtime New York Yankees fan, threw out the first pitch as the crowd cheered her on.A bipartisan crowd showed up for the event, including Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, was also there and repeatedly pointed out that the average age of the Congressional team was 53 years old.Copyright CNN 2011
