Congrats to her...

Olivia Pichardo has had a lot of groundbreaking firsts in the past year.

Last fall, the 19-year-old became the first woman to ever make a Division 1 baseball roster when she joined the team at Brown University.

A few months later, in March, she became the first woman to play for a Division 1 team.

And this summer, while playing in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League -- a wood bat circuit that's featured future MLB All-Stars like Corbin Burnes and Josiah Gray -- she's produced another first. In the best way possible.

During Game 2 of a doubleheader in Westhampton over the weekend, Pichardo cranked a dinger to deep right field -- the first by a female player in HCBL history.

Her Sag Harbor teammates couldn't hold back their excitement, celebrating like she had just hit a walk-off home run in the World Series.

This was just days after Pichardo pitched in the league's All-Star Game. She's given up zero earned runs in four regular-season appearances this year. Her coach recently told the East Hampton Star she's "one of our better arms out of the bullpen.”

Pretty awesome for a kid from Queens who's routinely been told to give up on the sport she loves. It all seems to just fuel her even more.

I remember when we played the Colorado Silver Bullets in 1994, that was good times, that gal pitching touched 78

 

[Pimpadeaux 2,407]

Cool.

[Hawkeye21 2,458]

Damn!  That's impressive.

There's a girl on my daughter's 8y/o softball team that is really good.  She doesn't want to play anymore because she wants to play baseball with the boys.  She's bored with softball.

Great story of equality.  If you can hit well or pitch well, you can play.

Ata girl. 

Good luck.

It is what losers do...  Their life sucks so much, they try to bring everyone else down to their level...  Put them on ignore and don't look back...
