Emily Henderson, on her first visit to San Quentin State Prison to play softball, hit a 300ft home run into left field. She set a record as the first woman to ever hit a home run in softball at The Q.

Henderson, a high school coach, said she came in to the prison because, “Any opportunity I get to play softball, I am there.”

It was the first pitch to Henderson, the second batter in the first inning of the May 5 game against the Hardtimers, whose 28-7 victory was eclipsed by the homer.
