Alexis "Scrappy" Hopkins became the second woman to play in the Atlantic League, and the second to earn a start, in Friday night's game between the Lexington Legends and the Kentucky Wild Health Genomes.
Hopkins, who has served as the Genomes' bullpen catcher throughout the season, was in the starting line-up on Friday as the designated hitter. She grounded out twice and popped out to third after having been placed on Kentucky's active roster earlier in the day.
Staten Island's Kelsie Whitmore became the first woman to play in the Atlantic League earlier this year and earned multiple starts throughout the season.
