Not many 13-year-olds can throw a fastball at 70 miles per hour, but Mo'ne Davis makes it look easy.
Davis helped bring her Philadelphia team, the Taney Dragons, to an 8-0 victory on Sunday in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship against Delaware. Davis struck out six batters in the six-inning game, advancing her team to the Little League Baseball World Series.

Davis will be joined by another female player during the series, Emma March of the Canada Region Champions from South Vancouver, making it only the third time that two girls will play in the Little League World Series at the same time.
This coincides with the 40th anniversary of the year the U.S. Congress allowed girls to play in the Little League. Davis and March will be the 17th and 18th girls to play in the LLBWS.
