Ep. 13 - Women in Baseball ft. Mo'ne Davis - a podcast by DGN Omega Podcasts

In honor of Women’s History Month, Emma and Madeline are back with a HUGE episode of WOMEN IN BASEBALL. We’re thrilled to introduce Hampton University softball player and 2014 Sports Illustrated Sports Kid of the year: Mo’ne Davis! Mo’ne took the mound at the 2014 Little League World Series, where she became the first girl to throw a shutout and the first African American girl to compete. We get into the LLWS experience, Mo’ne’s time as an Anderson Monarch, life after Little League, the significance of identity in sports, attending an HBCU, and much more.
