It’s been a half-decade since Mo’ne Davis became a national sensation, becoming the first girl in Little League World Series history to earn a win and pitch a shutout. Now another girl will be on the big stage in South Williamsport.

Maddy Freking, who plays for the Coon Rapids/Andover team from Minnesota which won the Midwest Region, will become the 19th girl in LLWS history to play in the tournament when she and her teammates face Bowling Green from Kentucky Thursday at 7 p.m.

“It’s a dream coming true, just to be there is really amazing,” the second baseman told KMSP TV in Minnesota.

In the bottom of the fourth inning of Coon Rapids/Andover’s Midwest Regional championship game against Johnston from Iowa on Saturday — a come-from-behind 8-6 win — Freking turned an impressive double play with the bases loaded and her team trailing by four.

Freking is the second girl from Minnesota to make it to the Little League World Series, following in the footsteps of Krissy Wendell, who played for Brooklyn Center in 1994. Wendell was later a standout for the U.S. women’s hockey team, helping it capture a silver medal at the 2002 Olympics and a bronze in the 2006 Games.

Victoria Roche was the first girl to play in the Little League World Series, playing for a team from Brussels, Belgium in 1984.

Davis captivated audiences five years ago with her pitching prowess for a team from Philadelphia as she hit 70 miles per hour with her fastball. She helped her team get to within one game of the U.S. title contest.
