Rep. Linda Sanhchez, D-Long Beach, recently complained that annual congressional softball game included no female players. She couldn't play this year because she recently gave birth.
So on the night of the Major League All Star Game, congressional women from both parties played against female staff members from the Republican and Democratic campaign committees.
Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Long Beach, played in the game. A staff member said she made a stunning catch at third base.
The game raised $50,000 for the Young Survival Coalition , an international organization that helps women diagnosed with breast cancer ages 40 and under.
