Mo'Ne is Money On The Mound

 
I tuned into ESPN on Monday afternoon, August 11, 2K14 at home in the Bronx, New York City USA to check out the latest happenings in the wide world of the sports landscape, and what definitely caught my immediate attention was the groundbreaking exploits of African-American female 13-year-old Taney Dragons right-handed pitching phenom Mo'Ne Davis of Philadelphia, PA. Not only is she very pretty in the face and extremely bright-minded, she is 'real-deal' talented and supremely confident in her abilities - throwing intimidating heat at 70 MPH top-speed, along with a nice curveball and a split-fingered fastball, all the while leading her team into the Little League World Series as the ONLY girl on the Taney squad. During her interview with ESPN, she even challenged current Los Angeles Dodgers Cy Young award-winning lefty Clayton Kershaw to a pitch-off. Now how's THAT for confidence! Well, her amazingness has caught on fire around the country and has quickly become the newest inspiration to young girls and even grown women as well!

On Friday, August 14, 2K14, 'Magic' Mo'Ne, who stands at 5'4 and weighs around 110 pounds, displayed more her dominance on the mound, throwing 70 pitches in six innings of work, giving up no runs and just two hits, no walks and eight strikeouts in a 4-0 victory for Pennsylvania over Nashville, Tennessee in the first game of the Little League World Series and made history by becoming the first African-American girl to partake in the annual classic and to also pitch a shutout as a female. Mo'Ne is just the 18th girl to ever play in the Little League World Series in it's 68-year history. I am rooting for this athletically mega-talented and beautiful young lady to go all the way, and Heaven's definitely the limit in regards to her bright future with whatever she sets her mind to do. Basketball is Mo'Ne's other love as she mentioned in her recent interview with ESPN and has dreams of playing in the WNBA in the future. Could she be the first-ever female Major League pitcher someday? With her immense talent and pending that she doesn't hurt her gifted right arm, it CAN be possible!
