The Big Day

Pawol's historic moment came during the first game of a doubleheader between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins. She served as the first base umpire and was met with a warm welcome from fans, who gave her a standing ovation. Family and friends were also in the crowd, cheering her on with handmade signs.

On the Field

During the game, Pawol handled her duties with confidence and professionalism. She made a few key calls, including a close play at first base that was not challenged, and a strong, decisive call on a double play. Her animated style and composure showed she was ready for the big leagues.

A Dream Come True

After the game, Pawol donated her cap to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. She had been working in the minor leagues since 2016, and when she found out about her promotion, she was "overcome with emotion."

This historic achievement was celebrated by many, including Braves manager Brian Snitker, who said she did a "good job," and Commissioner of Baseball Robert Manfred, who congratulated her on the milestone.
