Five Girls Contribute To Success of Middle School Baseball Team

The Middle School Baseball team benefitted from a handful of female student-athletes who gained attention beyond MFS. The team of 18 students consisted of 13 boys and 5 girls: Chloe Brame-Smalls ’25, Anaiyah Jones ’25, Jenavi Martinez ’25, Charlotte Nesevich ’25, and Idanitzy Ramos ’26. According to Coach (and History Teacher) Jake Greenberg, a parent from an opposing team reached out to him to commend him and the school for including girls on the roster. He also linked Mr. Greenberg with Justine Siegal (pictured above with the players) who is the founder of Baseball for All, a national league for girls who play baseball. She happened to be visiting the area and attended the team’s May 7 game at Carusi M.S. in Cherry Hill. She took a photo with the girls and provided some encouraging words. A few of the female players have since expressed interest in playing in a tournament at the Ripken Experience in Aberdeen, MD this summer. Charlotte Nesevich, also a high-level youth softball player, will soon try out for a girls’ baseball team out of Boston.

“It was an enjoyable season for our entire team,’ said Mr. Greenberg. “We were very competitive, finishing with a 4-4 record, and had great chemistry. A number of girls provided some highlight moments. I hope they continue to pursue their interest in our national pastime!”
