Fans responded with a warm ovation when the video board focused on the umpire between innings, forcing her to take a quick glance at her image.<\/p>\n<p>Pawol will work third base in Saturday night&#8217;s second game of the doubleheader. She will be in the spotlight when she calls pitches behind the plate in Sunday&#8217;s final game of the series.<\/p>\n<p>There was much anticipation for her historic debut on Saturday. A crowd of photographers gathered while waiting for the umpires to walk onto the field from their entry ramp near the Marlins dugout.<\/p>\n<p>McCullough and Braves bench coach Walt Weiss greeted Pawol when lineups were exchanged at home plate before the game. Pawol then jogged down the first base line. She shook hands with Marlins first base coach Tyler Smarslok before taking her position on the right field line for the first pitch.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement last week, Commissioner of Baseball Robert Manfred said Pawol&#8217;s success is a reflection of her hard work, dedication and love of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She has earned this opportunity, and we are proud of the strong example she has set, particularly for all the women and young girls who aspire to roles on the field,&#8221; Manfred said. &#8220;On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my congratulations to Jen and her family on this milestone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pawol said Thursday she was &#8220;overcome with emotion&#8221; when notified she would make her Major League Baseball debut this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was super emotional to finally be living that phone call that I&#8217;d been hoping for and working towards for quite a while, and I just felt super full \u2014 I feel like a fully charged battery ready to go,&#8221; Pawol said.<\/p>\n<p>Pawol, 48, has been working in the minor leagues since she was assigned to the Gulf Coast League in 2016. She was assigned the Triple-A championship game in 2023 and worked spring training games in 2024 and again this year.<\/p>\n<p>She recalled Thursday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=728570123386067\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a memorable moment<\/a> with longtime Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright during her first year in the Triple-A. While she was checking him for foreign substances, he told her: &#8220;Jen, I just want you to know that I have daughters, and I think this is so cool, and I&#8217;m rooting for you, and good luck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pawol, who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/new-jersey-umpire-hopes-to-make-history-as-first-woman-ever-to-call-mlb-regular-season-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">from New Jersey<\/a>, had only a few days to prepare for Saturday&#8217;s doubleheader. She said she was told of her long-awaited promotion during a Wednesday conference call with director of umpire development Rich Rieker and vice president of umpire operations Matt McKendry.<\/p>\n<p>Pawol was a three-time all-conference softball selection pick at Hofstra. She worked as an NCAA softball umpire from 2010-16.<\/p>\n<p>Pawol&#8217;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 <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/sarah-thomas-makes-history-first-female-referee-nfl-game-patriots-chargers\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">first full-time female official<\/a><\/span>.
