The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) girls’ softball state tournament is officially under way — and so is the controversy surrounding Champlin Park’s starting pitcher.
Marissa Rothenberger, a trans-identifying male athlete, threw a complete-game shutout Wednesday morning as No. 2-seeded Champlin Park defeated No. 7 Eagan, 5-0, in the Class AAAA quarterfinals. Rothenberger allowed seven hits and struck out four in the win.
Rothenberger, whose participation in girls’ sports highlights a growing trend across the state and country, threw 14 shutout innings in back-to-back games in the sectional finals to help Champlin Park reach the state tournament.
On Wednesday, not everyone in the stands was clapping.
Two Eagan parents, both of whom requested anonymity for the sake of their daughters, expressed frustration and disappointment after the game. One mother, wearing a “Save Girls’ Sports” T-shirt, said the outcome felt inevitable.
“I was pretty disappointed and frustrated,” she told OutKick. “I think we’ve seen this happen over and over again to our girls. You look online, and you see women transitioning to men, and they’re not dominating any of the men’s sports. You don’t see that. But on the women’s side, you see it over and over again across the country. It’s super frustrating. I knew it was eventually going to happen to my daughter. I was sad to see it happen to her.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I bet all these ‘trans’ athletes will somehow switch back to normal once they graduate college with all the free scholarships they stole..................
This is only softball, yet females are still being sought to replace males for the military and in the military academies.
Mediocre male athletes find a way to win...
Boycott the games.
One sad thing is that in ten years, Marissa Rothenberger might realize that he is a cheat and liar, not only to the people who are using him now, but to himself. He will never find out who he is.
Girlcott them,
I wonder if ‘she’ was wearing a jock strap with a protective cup?
Which is why any male that wants to play in women's sports as trans needs to get their dick and balls cut off, in addition to the hormomes. Period, no exceptions. (It can be up to them if they want to make a fake vagina, I don't care.)
Make a statement, dude, that you really believe you're a woman -- jettison your man-bits. Totally. Grind 'em up and throw 'em in the garbage.
Then, and only then, will I believe you might be serious enough to play in women's sports. Maybe.
I bet HE is probably throwing the softball 10 mph faster. A college woman can top 78mph.
“Marissa Rothenberger might realize that he is a cheat and liar”
He already knows that.
Won’t somebody just say, if there’s a dick on your team, we’re outta here and you can look as stupid you want...
This insanity will continue until WOMEN refuse to compete with the trannies. They are the ones with skin in the game, and the ones who could stop it immediately, if they had any courage of convictions.
Until then, my sympathy meter is barely registering anything at all.
4 strikeouts in how many innings, and is that high or low for a girl’s softball game? I don’t follow the sport, so right not that stat is in a vacuum. And how many hit pitches got to the outfield?
Why do the girls want to play the game and participate in a fraud and a sham? Forfeit the game in necessary, but don’t act like this is normal or right.
Has it occurred to anyone else that these shemales always elevate to the most athletic position, the marquee spot?
There aren’t any pudgy, slow-footed trannies wandering around in right field, hoping for a fly ball.
Coaches want the W, anyway possible.
FINDING REAL JOBS COULD BE VERY INTERESTING.
HOW DO THEY OBTAIN “HEALTH BENEFITS?”
Men built civilization. Not women.
Women are followers. So that why they are indulging in this nonsense. Unfortunately, we are noticing that men are weak in the West.
This trans-athlete brought to you by the Democrat Party that YOU voted for!
When will these families and girl’s turn and WALK OUT. Girl’s are not going to win and will only get hurt. Just WALK OUT. SUE the trans athlete for SOMETHING and break the parents bank. Why do these girl’s keep trying to compete and then just COMPLAIN. WALK AWAY and there can be no game or competition. At some point I am tired of hearing abt it. DO SOMETHING or STOP COMPLAINING.
