Jen Pawol, who became the first woman to umpire in a regular-season MLB game on Saturday, shifted behind the plate to call balls and strikes for the first time in her Major League career in Sunday's series finale between the Braves and Marlins at Truist Park.

Pawol's rise to make MLB history came 28 years after the NBA gender barrier for game officials was broken and 10 years after the NFL hired its first full-time female official. The men's soccer World Cup first hired a female referee three years ago. The NHL has not had any women as on-ice officials.

Umpire Jen Pawol had already written her name into the history books on Saturday when she became the first female umpire to officiate a regular-season major league game.
