Woman Pitcher Traded

Ila Borders, the first woman to pitch in a regular-season minor-league game, was traded by the St. Paul Saints to the Duluth-Superior Dukes.

Borders, a 22-year-old left-hander, was expected to be in uniform this afternoon when the Dukes play the Sioux Falls Canaries in Duluth. She was traded for utility infielder Keith English.

In seven Northern League games this season, Borders had a 7.50 ERA in six innings.
