The baseball and softball fields at Cal State San Marcos are separated by about 100 yards from each other, of course they are also separated by gender.

Baseball is for boys. Softball is for girls.

On Sunday, that gender barrier was broken.

Cal State San Marcos sophomore softball player Jillian Albayati, played in the first game of the Cougars doubleheader Sunday morning, then hustled over to the baseball field and played in the Cougars baseball game.

It was a historic double play, as Albayati became the second college athlete in history to play in a softball and baseball game on the same day.

“It was so awesome,” said a smiling Albayati when asked about playing in the baseball game. “It just felt like where I needed to be at that moment, it felt pretty amazing.”
