Jen Pawol did the punch-out signal in the top of the first inning, highlighting MLB's first behind-the-plate umpire performance by a female in Atlanta.

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.
