Freshman pitcher @marleegaskell44 was brought on in relief for Bella Dimitrijevic in the 4th inning Tuesday night against the Gators. This was Marlee’s first appearance since early April! She had 3 Ks in 2 1/3 innings pitched, allowing 2 runs against a strong-hitting UF team!🍢
@softball_randy I’ve just always compared the two because they remind me a lot of each other, both left handed bats, both great in the field, and both were seniors this past season.. Idk I just thought Aminah was the better option out of the 2.
For everyone who doesn’t understand- the issue isn’t that a women is asking for more money.
The issue is that she’s asking for money that DOES NOT EXIST (yet).
The AUSL will never grow to be as successful as it can be if athletes aren’t willing to be a part of building it.
Imagine if all of the women who have been building professional softball over the past few decades had waited for more money. There would be no AUSL. No MLB partner. No ESPN deal.
