Davis, alongside many other women in the sport, had spent years being the only girl on the team \u2014 most recently for the Indianapolis Clowns of Banana Ball. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>At first, Davis didn\u2019t believe there even was going to be a professional women\u2019s baseball league.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3466\">Phillies continue to seek help for \u2018man down\u2019 bullpen before Monday\u2019s trade deadline<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But others in her corner had no doubt, cheering as she appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOh yes, yes, yes, I always knew she was going to do something great like this,\u201d her longtime mentor and step-uncle, Tyrique, said. \u201cShe\u2019s got that fire in her &#8230; I aspired to be a ballplayer myself, so I taught her everything that I knew about pitching.
