Brexit Mania is in full swing — Hot Takes! Get Your Hot Takes! — but don’t let that distract you from last night’s other bit of drama. The Hill reports:
With Republicans down to their final out, Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) hit a walk-off single to score the winning run of the Congressional Baseball Game.
The GOP’s win Thursday night at Nationals Park was their first in the annual game since 2008.
It was one of the wildest games in recent memories, with late rallies by both sides and a series of close plays at home plate.

Poor Patrick Murphy (D., Fla.) gave up the winning run to the GOP — and, no, the crowd was not above chanting “Marco Rubio!” and “C-P-A!”.
