June 1, 1997: Less than 20 hours after her historic (if ineffective) professional baseball debut, St. Paul Saints pitcher Ila Borders strikes out the side in an inning of relief against the Sioux Falls Sioux Falls Canaries. Folks, that's what we call a Snapper Mow 'Em Down Inning.

.Ila Borders became the first woman to pitch in a men's college baseball game on this date in 1994, giving up just five hits in a 12-1 Southern California College win over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. She retired the first 10 batters she faced, and took a shutout into the eighth.

"This is an honor to be up here and be up there." Former St. Paul Saints pitcher Ila Borders talks about the impact women continue to have on the game and the new art feature at Target Field.
