Canadians Liz Gilder, Alli Schroder to showcase girls’ baseball at MLB high-school event Globe_Sports
“I think any time you get girls together to play baseball it’s a success on its own, but we also want to get more exposure for these girls so that more people can see that they play baseball, they do it at a competitive level and really thrive at it,” Benn said.
The 16-year-old Schroder met Gilder while playing on their provincial women’s team years ago and the pair won bronze medals together with Canada at the Women’s Baseball World Cup last August in their national team debuts.“When I came home [from the World Cup] people would say, ‘you know that girl you pitched against was like 30 [years old],“’ said Schroder, the youngest on Canada’s medal-winning team. “But honestly when you’re on the field that doesn’t even play a factor.
With women’s university baseball programs sparse around the United States and Canada – Benn said Miami University of Ohio is the lone school with a women’s club team – Schroder might have to settle for pitching on a collegiate men’s team instead. Gilder graduates from high school this summer and is hoping to get a degree in business. She’s most looking forward to a panel portion of the Grit Invitational, where she’ll hear from women currently employed in baseball.
