Rachel Balkovec has been diligent and relentless in her rise through the Yankee ranks, and after securing her first win as the first-ever female manager on Friday night, she was finally able to smile and relive the unforgettable evening.
“I’ve never heard my name chanted like that,” Balkovec said after her Tampa Tarpons finished off a 9-6 win over the Lakeland Flying Tigers in their season opener. “It’s like, I see me sitting in the stands, 15 or 20 years ago, and so it’s just really cool.
