Mo’ne Davis, 13, made history Friday night as the first female pitcher to throw a shutout game in the Little League World Series.
Davis has been grabbing headlines since July, when her Philadelphia team, the Taney Dragons, earned their spot in the national championships. Davis is one of two girls playing in this year’s Little League World Series, but it’s her 70-mph fastball that sets her apart from the rest.
On Friday Davis became the first girl to pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series, helping the Taney Dragons earn a 4-0 victory over a team from Nashville. Throughout the game, Davis gave up only two hits, striking out eight batters in the process. After the game, Davis responded to Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett’s hope that she make it to the MLB, telling reporters, “It’s very crazy. I didn’t even expect that.… If I do stay in to baseball, hopefully I can pitch, be a professional pitcher.”
