Mo’ne Davis, who first shot to breakout fame during the 2014 Little League World Series, is back on the pitcher’s mound in a different tournament.
She’s playing on the Philadelphia Phillies, representing the Mid-Atlantic region in the Junior Baseball bracket of the RBI World Series.

MLB’s RBI program, which stands for Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, is currently holding its World Series in Cincinnati, where both baseball and softball divisions compete for the top prize.
Even if it’s been a while since the public has seen Mo’ne on the mound, she of course hasn’t stopped pitching in the last few years. And she looks just as ready to dominate as usual.
The Phillies lost their first game in the East division to Chicago by only one run, which stemmed from a rough inning on Mo’ne’s part, but they’ll play again later on Tuesday night against Arizona and try to get a win back there. With Mo’ne Davis on their side, don’t count them out just yet.
