This story focuses on women playing on men's sports teams. It's definitely not to hear the vicious taunts from the crowd.
Borders pitches to win.
Borders, who throws a 78 mph fastball, is a starting pitcher for the tiny NAIA school in Costa Mesa, Calif., and the first woman to pitch on a men's college baseball team. She is one of a growing number of girls and women who are playing traditionally male sports on the high school and college levels. Football, wrestling and baseball are becoming open season for women, but getting through the doors has not been easy. Borders has heard criticism from peers, media and fans about her involvement in baseball since she started at age 10. But on the field, Borders focuses only on her next pitch.
