Lightroom is great for this. Your capture was well metered; the bright white uniforms and glare of the sun off the facemask not to mention the neon pink all make this on the hot side.
In the Develop module hold down the option/alt key and find a balance among the Exposure, Highlights, and Shadows sliders. Hots spots will appear with the key held down. You can also use the Whites and Blacks to set the points.
Then tweak things more with the tone curves. To cool down glare in specific areas--her right shoulder, the catcher's helmet and left shoulder, you can use the adjustment brush. There are reduce glare brush presets out there. Essentially you want to be meticulous about the degree of negative exposure & contrast so things don't get grey. Negative clarity can help as can upping the saturation but it is a personal aesthetic call at this point. It is better to go easy than being overactive with the brush.
It's a nicely framed shot and a good one--I like how level you were with the action! It is a shame that the people in the background kill the isolation. That's totally typical for most sports venues--the backgrounds are way too busy and there is really little you can do about it, except maybe shoot at f2.8-f4 with a $2300 Canon 70-200 MK2 (IS aside) which is amazingly sharp at those apertures.
The second one is really fine because (beyond the emotions captured) the background is semi-uniform and diffused enough to not distract. Very well done with the shooting perspective.
