Mo'ne Ikea Davis (born June 24, 2001) is a pitcher from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who became a national figure at age 13 with the Taney Dragons at the 2014 Little League World Series. Pitching for Philadelphia's Taney Little League team, she threw a two-hit shutout to beat Nashville 4–0 on August 15, 2014, becoming the first girl to earn a win and to pitch a shutout in Little League World Series history — the claim supported here by both Little League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Little League records that she finished the Series with a 1–1 record and 14 strikeouts in eight innings, and the Hall of Fame notes she later donated her jersey from the victory to Cooperstown. She was one of two girls who played in the 2014 Series and later played college softball at Hampton University. This record is confined to her public sports record.

Notes

Sports Encyclopedia roster CTL-SPE-0305. Firsts disposition: 'First girl to earn a win and to pitch a shutout in Little League World Series history (2014)' ASSERTED — supported by Little League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The roster flag arrived verification-pending with the claim unspecified; only this specific, exactly double-sourced claim is asserted. Curator's Judgment (DRAFT): Davis's 2014 run is documented at the level of the game's own institutions, which is why this record can assert the first plainly while keeping a young athlete's record to the public sports record alone.
