Female high school pitchers go head to head in BASEBALL!

It is amazing to me to read that for the first time in history, two high school boys baseball teams had girls as starting pitchers opposing one another. It really shows how far women have come in sport because here we are in 2011, and yet this is the first known time it has happened. To me it also speaks volumes of the character that these young women have. I'm sure that there have been other women who have come along and could throw a solid fastball or a wicked curve, but the majority of them have probably been told to go the easy way, to play softball. These two young ladies have dealt with the scrutiny because they are trying to accomplish a goal of theirs, and that is to pitch in the majors. The article talks about what they have been through, teammates dropping fly balls to protest them being on the team, among other things. Most people may have quit because of that kind of behavior from a teammate but these girls persevered and showed that although they have long hair, wear makeup and wear dresses, they can strike people out and should be looked at for what they do, and that is be a great baseball player.
