Eking out a win at this year’s Congressional Women’s Softball Game won’t satisfy the Bad News Babes. The squad — composed of D.C.-based female journalists — wants nothing less than to dominate their congressional opponents after a late-game walk led to a one-run loss in last year’s matchup.
“We’re out for revenge,” said Emily Goodin, senior U.S. political reporter for the DailyMail.com and co-captain of the Bad News Babes. “We’re putting the ‘bad’ back in the Bad News Babes, as we say.”
The Bad News Babes, whose roster is full of returning players, will square off against a bicameral team of lawmakers Wednesday night at Watkins Recreation Center on Capitol Hill for the 15th annual game.
