13 year old Mo'ne Davis has already broken major ground for kid baseball players. Just last week, Davis became the first female pitcher to throw a shutout in the Little League World Series game. She has been the sixth female baseball player to get a hit in the tournament. 

Mo'ne Davis is the first Little League player to ever make the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. After her teams win in the LLWS, Davis made headlines after being the first female to win a game with a two-hit shutout against South Nashville last week. 

Not only is Davis talented in baseball, but she excellences on the basketball court according to her coach Debra Brady. 

"She's a phenomenal pitcher, but I think her best sport is basketball. In a year or so, she will be doing the same unbelievable things in basketball. She was head and shoulders above any kid I ever coached at that level."

Although the loss against Nevada placed her team, Philadelphia Taney Dragons in the elimination round, Mo'ne Davis continues to surprise us with her positive attitude which means great things are heading her way.
