Regarding her playing I'm certainly not of those "men's rights" guys and I can live with a woman occasionally getting a small edge somewhere with all the disadvantages they face in other areas but I do hope she is actually qualified to play at that level. She doesn't have to be great, if she can hit 0.240 or have a 5 era that would be fine but if she goes like 1 for 20 with 16 Ks or has a 13 era and gives up a lot of bombs that wouldn't be great as she and her team would face a lot of scrutiny for doing that as a pure marketing stunt even though I'm sure she worked extremely hard and is a fine ballplayer.
But D1 is tough, many boys, even good ones who hit 0.400+ in their HS team and have tools can fail at that level so it won't be easy.
Sadly, I think the bolded part is what you'll see.
