Transgender pitcher Marissa Rothenberger continues to destroy the female competition.
After a dramatic walk-off win in Wednesday’s semifinal, the Champlin Park Rebels advanced to the Minnesota High School Girls’ Softball State Championship, and it was all thanks to their unlikely teammate.
Rothenberger’s performance helped her Champlin Park team beat White Bear Lake 3-2 on Wednesday, leading a girl on the losing team to cry and ask her father, “Why can’t you do something?” according to OutKick.
Rothenberger, a junior, went 2-3 at the plate for Champlin Park, which sparked the comeback. The junior led off the fifth inning with a double that began Champlin Park’s rally to tie the game at 2 apiece.
At the bottom of the seventh inning, Marissa Rothenberger opened the inning with another double. The trans athlete was replaced by a “courtesy runner,” who eventually scored the game-winning run on a two-out, walk-off hit from junior outfielder Ava Parent.
Being great at the plate was just one part of her day. Marissa Rothenberger threw a complete game as well.

“I would take no satisfaction from that championship if I were on the team. Zero. I also question the moral character of the other players and their parents for participating in the travesty,” a fourth person wrote of Marissa Rothenberger.

One final person added: “Normally, when a team feels slighted by a question call or decision that was made by officiating in a baseball game, it would get played under PROTEST. Im not sure why the “losing team” didn’t call for this???
There’s no way I manage a team of girls and allow for a guy to come in and play against them and call that fair competition…GTFOH with all that mess…”
