Mo'ne Davis, barrier-breaking LLWS star, makes collegiate softball debut for Hampton

Mo’ne Davis, the star of the 2014 Little League World Series, made her collegiate softball debut for Hampton University in a 15-4 win over North Carolina AT&T on Saturday.

Then 13 years old, Davis stole headlines when she became the first girl to pitch a shutout at the LLWS for her Philadelphia squad. She was also the first African American girl to play in the tournament.

Now she’s starring at second base for Hampton University, which she chose because it was a historically black university. The NCAA softball season opened late last week.
