Less than 24 hours earlier she'd created history by becoming the first female to play in the Bendigo District Cricket Association first XI - a competition that started in 1894.
Not only did Nevins play, she was integral to Kangaroo Flat's win over Huntly-North Epsom.
The teenager took a catch, bowled eight overs and, with the game on the line, strode to the crease and made 13 not out off seven balls to help ensure the Roos finished the season with a win.
