I don't follow softball, so I can't say that I do. But Jen, a former Hofstra softball player, made MLB history when she became the first woman in 17 years to umpire an MLB spring training game last night when she called balls and strikes for the Nationals-Astros game in West Palm Beach. Her Hofstra coach, Bill Edwards, was in attendance:

Cool feel-good story, nice to see one, appreciate the heads up, was not aware of her or this!

Thanks for sharing, Jojo. I didn't know about this either. Pretty cool. I wish her success.

nice
shows the legacy left by one of the best college coaches ever

She has been all over the national news...great story, most of the coverage did not mention Hofstra unfortunately.
