Jillian Albayati Makes Dual-Sport History at Cal State San Marcos

In a pioneering feat, Albayati became the first Division II athlete to compete in both a baseball and softball game on the same day.

Jillian Albayati became the second player in collegiate history and the first in Division II to play in both a baseball and a softball game on the same day.
Albayati, a right-handed pitcher for the Cal State San Marcos baseball team and a third baseman for the softball team, made her historic appearances against Sonoma State.
The opportunity arose due to a scheduling conflict caused by California's rainy spring, which left the baseball team short-handed.
Albayati has played baseball since she was 3 and has represented the USA Baseball system on the women's national team.
She has been invited to try out for the professional baseball team, Savannah Bananas, which could affect her future eligibility in collegiate baseball.
