Right Team Name, Right Game... Where's The Pen?
Katie Brownell
Katie, who is in 6th grade, also pitched a one-hitter in the first game of the year. She accounted for all 15 outs in the five innings she pitched in that game. She had 14 strikeouts and got the other out on a grounder to the mound that she tossed to first.Katie is the only girl on the team."She's been pitching for three years, but she's really came on and excelled this year," said Jeff Sage, manager of the team, who didn't get to see Saturday's game because of his job as a firefighter in Rochester. "She bats really well. She's a solid, all-around ballplayer."
At the plate, Katie's hitting .714 through the team's first three games.
Update 5/19: she is the only girl in the league.
Comments:
Ah, check her birth certificate - is she realy 11? Next thing you know, the Yankees will send scouts...
Richard,
Most little league stays co-ed until the girl can't compete. On my sons team, there is one girl. She is probably the second best catcher/ first baseman on the team. Each year older some players (boys and girls) realize they can no longer compete. Eventually by 15/16 years old there are no girls left. At 12 and 13 some girls are more physically mature than boys and can dominate. Baseball is a sport that a girl could play pro at if she really stuck with it. We have 5'9" second basemen. So it isn't an issue of size.

There is a girl on are team. we at the top competition for 15-17 year olds. she is one of the best fielders and #1 catcher on her team. she is very good. i think if girls have it and want to continue playing baseball and they are a big factor on their team they should continue... untill they would like to leave.
