Hurray For Girls :) - "Girl pitches perfect game against boys"

[nickel]

OAKFIELD, N.Y. (AP) - Katie Brownell is in a Little League all her own. The 11-year-old — the only girl playing in the Oakfield-Alabama Little League program — pitched a perfect game Saturday for her Dodgers. She struck out all 18 batters she faced in the six-inning, 11-0 victory over the Yankees.

Oakfield-Alabama officials said they can't remember anybody ever throwing a perfect game in this western New York league between Buffalo and Rochester.

In two games on the mound, Katie has struck out 32 of 33 batters. And she's hitting .714 through the team's first three games.

"She's been pitching for three years, but she really came on and excelled this year," said team manager Jeff Sage.

Katie was almost pulled out of Saturday's game until the scorekeeper reminded her coach she had a no-hitter going.

Katie then kept mowing down the opposition and when the last batter was fanned, the crowd erupted.

"Everybody congratulated me," she said.

Cooperstown calling for girl's Little League jersey

OAKFIELD, N.Y. -- While most young ballplayers dream of making it to the big leagues, 11-year-old Katie Brownell already has Cooperstown calling.

Brownell, the only girl in her Little League, made national headlines last month when she tossed a perfect game by striking out every batter she faced.

Now, the National Baseball Hall of Fame wants to put her jersey on display in the same shrine that includes items from Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Hank Aaron. In fact, the hall will host a program for Katie and her Dodger teammates July 7, when the young pitcher will donate her jersey.

"I thought, this tops everything, this is amazing. That's when it finally clicked: This is bigger than I thought," said Katie's mother, Denise Bischoff.

Katie, however, wasn't fazed. When her mother told her the Hall of Fame wanted her jersey, the youngster balked at the request.

"She's like, 'No, I'm keeping my jersey,'" Bischoff said.

But after being assured another jersey would be made for her, Katie finally relented.
