When she did get a hit, the coach put in a substitute to run for her. She only got the one hit in both games of the double header. Defensively, she did manage to snag several fly balls that came her way.

Yep, in an NCAA lead-off tourney here about 4 years ago, there was one who was about 7 months along. She was VERY pregnant! Short gal, so everything moved outwards. Man could that gal slide!
If it were me, I might still want to ask an attorney what litiguous situations I could get into. It would probably be just as bad, maybe more so to deny her the opportunity. Pregnant or not, if she's a minor with parental permission, put her to work!
