Upcoming Orioles Game to Feature First All-Female Broadcast

Next Tuesday's Orioles-Rays game will make history as five women will serve as the on-air crew for the contest.

Melanie Newman, the Orioles’ radio play-by-play announcer since last year, lead the play-by-play for the game. Sarah Langs, a writer for MLB.com, will serve as the analyst in the booth.

Alanna Rizzo will be the contests's on-field, in-game reporter, while Heidi Watney and Lauren Gardner will anchor the pre- and postgame shows.

According to The New York Times' David Waldstein, who first reported the news of the broadcast, it is believed to be the first time an all-women team will handle the entire broadcast for a major league game.
