From a club championship to a tryout for the first professional women's baseball league in more than 75 years, four Cal Poly student-athletes are trying to be a part of history.
“I definitely take a lot of pride in it to help further along women's baseball because even from when I was a kid, it's come such a long way," explained the founder of the Cal Poly Women's Club Baseball team, Arwen McCullough.
McCullough started playing baseball at the age of 7 after watching her beloved San Francisco Giants win a World Series in 2010.
“My parents said they've never seen me sit still for that long in front of the TV," she remembered.
McCullough was in a league of her own, arriving at Cal Poly in 2022 with a goal of trying to bring others into the sport, so she started a club team on the campus,
