On August 25th, 2019, history was made when Stella Weaver became the first female to score a run in the Little League World Series. The 12-year-old from Coon Rapids-Andover, Minnesota, made the run in the bottom of the fourth inning of her team’s game against the team from South Riding, Virginia.
The moment was made even more special by the fact that Weaver’s run was the first of the game and helped her team to a 4-2 victory. Weaver’s run came after she was walked by the pitcher and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. She then scored on a single by her teammate, which put her team ahead for good.
Weaver’s feat is a major milestone for female athletes everywhere. It shows that girls can compete at the highest level and that they can be just as successful as their male counterparts. It also sends a message to young girls everywhere that they should never give up on their dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem.
Stella Weaver’s accomplishment is sure to inspire many young female athletes to continue striving for greatness. Her run in the Little League World Series will be remembered for years to come and will serve as a reminder that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Congratulations to Stella Weaver for making history!
