Knocking Down the Fences tells the story of a superstar athlete you might not have heard of – and why the sports industry hasn't put her on your radar.

Her skills are outstanding, but winning the award did not change the fact that Andrews earns less than $15k a year as a professional softball player. And though Andrews is hopeful, she still has to fight against an industry that is more willing to pay female athletes to model than to play their sport.
