On Aug. 9, former West Milford High School softball and soccer star Jen Pawol will make Major League Baseball history.
She’ll become the first woman to umpire a regular-season game when she works both games of a Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves doubleheader. The following day, she’ll work behind the plate for the first time.
All three games will be broadcast locally, but fortunately for North Jerseyans, there are ways to watch her games from the Garden State.
How to watch Marlins vs Braves on Aug. 9
The first game of the Aug. 9 doubleheader, which begins at 1:15 p.m., will be broadcast nationally on MLB Network. (The game is only available outside of the Atlanta and Miami markets.)
