Taney Dragons pitcher Mo’Ne Davis helped lead her team to the the United States semifinals at the Little League World Series, captivating the nation with her performances on the mound. Davis, who tossed out first pitches at Phillies and Dodgers games earlier this summer, is donating one of her jerseys to the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, and will play a game with her teammates at the Hall on Thursday.

Via the AP:

“Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, a former pitcher and one of only three women to play in the Negro Leagues, will also attend Thursday’s event at the Hall of Fame. Afterward, Davis and her teammates will face a team from upstate New York in an exhibition game at Doubleday Field.”
