Two pioneers met for the first time in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Mo'ne Davis and her teammates on the Anderson Monarchs barnstorming team stood alongside baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron at Turner Field. Davis became the first girl to pitch a no-hitter in the Little League World series and the first African-American girl ever to play in the annual competition, accomplishing the feats last summer as she wowed the crowd with her 70 mph fastball. Aaron finished his career atop MLB's all-time home run list with 755.

The Monarchs were in Atlanta as part of a three-week tour, during which they will learn about the civil rights movement. While in Atlanta, they visited the MLK Center for Non-Violent Social Change as well as the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, according to The Associated Press.
Davis, who turns 14 Wednesday, was also drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters on Tuesday. Basketball is her first love. Her goal is to earn a scholarship to the University of Connecticut and have a successful career in the WNBA.
