Veteran broadcaster Beth Mowins will become the first woman to call play-by-play for the Cubs when the club faces the Rockies on Saturday.
Mowins joined Pat Hughes in the booth on Wednesday to call a couple of innings in Chicago's spring training game against the Padres. In 2017, Mowins did play-by-play for her first NFL game, becoming the first woman to call an NFL game in 30 years. She has also been a longtime voice of the NCAA College Softball World Series.
In addition to Saturday's Cubs game, Mowins will also call a few games during the regular season to fill in for Jon Sciambi.
