Jackie Mitchelle

Have you heard last week on April 1 1931 was the biggest game of the year! The Chattanooga Lookouts were going up against the New York Yankees.  Can you guess what the Lookouts had a GIRL pitcher! Also can you guess what happened she struck out the two greatest baseball players! Babe Ruthe and Lou Gehrig. Babe Ruthe batted first, he swung and missed the first two balls the third was a ball, so the last pitch he didn’t swing but it was a strike. Next was  Lou Gehrig he swung and missed the first three pitches. Finally Tony Lazzeri was up and got out too. I guess you could say this girl has and arm. This amazing girls name is Jackie Mitchelle, the first girl to play in baseball!
