    WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The 91st Annual Congressional Baseball Game was briefly interrupted by protesters running onto the field.

    Eight climate protesters ran onto the field during the charity event, some with shirts that read “End Fossil Fuels Now.”

    Police quickly wrangled the protestors and play resumed. The activist group Climate Defiance claimed on social media that they were responsible for the interruption.

    The Republican team went on to extend their winning streak by beating the Democrats 31-11, a more common score for football than baseball. The Democrats have not won since 2019.
