Kelsie Whitmore is making more history on Sunday.
The Atlantic League announced Whitmore is starting in left field for the Staten Island FerryHawks vs. Gastonia, making her the first woman to start in a game in the league's history.
This is only the latest piece of history Whitmore is achieving by playing baseball. Earlier this year, she reached the highest level of any woman baseball player by signing a contract with the FerryHawks, then became the first woman to appear in an Atlantic League game as a pinch runner.
Up to this point she has also spent time as the team’s first base coach.
