There was history to be made in Australia on Saturday.
Meet Genevieve Beacom. The 17-year-old left-handed pitcher became the first woman to pitch for a professional team, the Melbourne Aces, in Australia.
While the Aces suffered a 7–1 loss to the Adelaide Giants in the Melbourne Challenge Series, Beacom did not allow any hits or runs in one inning of work. While Giants leadoff hitter Griffin Weber reached first, she recorded a groundout against Brock Wells followed by a walk and a second groundout by Darcy Barry.
Then, with two runners on bases, Beacom got Jack Partington to fly out to end the inning.
