"What a lovely day for baseball", blared a voice over the loudspeakers, after Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" faded out, and John Fogerty's "Centerfield" finished, too.
The annual bipartisan baseball game has been going on since 1909, and the event is centered around raising money for charity.
Thought the game will go on, Majority Whip Steve Scalise, remains in critical condition at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, a level 1 trauma center.
Trump, after visiting the Louisiana Republican at the hospital, on Wednesday said Scalise was "in very tough shape - but he is a real fighter".
Hodgkinson died at the hospital Wednesday after he was shot by police. After winning the game 11-2, the Democrats gave their trophy to Republican manager Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, to give to Scalise. "It's about Republicans and Democrats". "We continue to seek information on any encounters the public may have had with him in his home state of IL or in Alexandria".
Duncan found that memory hard to shake Thursday night as he stood in for Scalise at second base. He said some 15 officers attended a May town-hall meeting where many in the angry crowd blamed him for helping to revive the GOP's health care bill.
Rep. Dwight Evans, a Democrat, and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican, represent districts in Pennsylvania.

Scalise is said to be somewhat responding to medical staff and family, according to the doctors. "It starts here, it starts with each other". Metropolitan Police also require that all firearms be registered with them. The game will allow "everyone in our community to focus on our kids who need us the most, and giving kids a safe place to go after school is something that we can all agree upon, regardless of party or politics". He will recover from this assault - and Steve, I want you to know that you have the prayers not only of the entire city behind you, but of an entire nation, and frankly the entire world.
Representatives on both teams chose to go forward with the game, which got underway at 7 p.m.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., recounted candidate Trump's comments prodding supporters to pummel demonstrators at rallies and said Republicans were being "sanctimonious". This is something they've been doing now for more than one hundred years.
"I think the answer to that question is yes", he said. What's not always been present is the 24-hour slow-motion repeat of that violence over and over and over and over again.
On that day, a man later identified as the attacker approached Rep. Jeff Duncan of SC in the parking lot of the Alexandria, Virginia, ballfield, asking him, "Excuse me, sir, who's practicing today, Democrats or Republicans?" as Duncan recalls the encounter.
The Capitol Police budget is scrutinized annually by House and Senate appropriations subcommittees overseeing the legislative branch, and ultimately has to be approved by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president.
