Hudek is flying under the radar as far as a national news story goes compared to say a Mo' ne Davis -- and there are various reason for that -- but as the story indicates she is not the first to get to this level of play and she certainly will not be the last. Being a LHP will help. A knock-out secondary pitch would help, but she is the daughter of an ex-big leaguer, so that will help as well.
She would get more attention if there some "other" socially significant back stories that could be attached to her ascent, but WTH? She deserves kudos for advancing to this level and bears watching moving forward.

Sarah Hudek adjusting to College | College Baseball Daily:
Sarah Hudek the first female to play college baseball in Louisiana and one of the the first in the country is adjusting to life at Bossier Parish Community College where she is a member of the 58 student athletes on the squad.'via Blog this'
“I was really nervous coming here and not knowing what to expect, but the guys have been very accepting,” said Hudek, whose grandparents live in southeast Shreveport. “It’s been an adjustment for me, as well as for them. But the meshing has gone well so far, and I’m excited.”
Hudek is one of 58 student-athletes on the BPCC squad, but the only one who doesn’t dress in the parking lot. The baseball team doesn’t have a clubhouse with a shower, so the guys change clothes wherever they can, or wait until they get home.
