for the record

It might be the answer to a great trivia question someday. Who did Sarah Hudek beat for the first win of her college career? The answer is … Hinds Community College. Happened Wednesday night at Moss Field in Raymond. Hudek, the only female playing college baseball and reportedly the first to get a scholarship in the sport, worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings for Bossier Parish (La.) CC in a 5-4 victory over the Eagles, ranked ninth in NJCAA Division II. Hudek, a lefty and the daughter of former big leaguer John Hudek, yielded three infield hits and recorded three strikeouts in her first career appearance. As her coach says, “This is not a gimmick.”
