Last night, Nevada beat Davis’ Taney team, 8-1. Nevada advances to the U.S. championship game Saturday night. Taney Little League, the Mid-Atlantic champion, plays an elimination game against Jackie Robinson West out of Chicago tonight, a game that will amount to The Diversity Bowl, one team (Chicago) being 100% African-American, and the other being predominantly African-American.

 

Davis, who throws a 70 MPH pitch, has hopes of playing basketball for UConn (University of Connecticut) when she graduates from high school.

Here is some of the action from last nights’ game Taney played against Nevada. Click here to check out some of the play from last night.
