The date was April 2, 1931 during an exhibition game between the Chattanooga Lookouts and New York Yankees.
After striking out the Babe, who took a called strike three, she then struck out Lou Gehrig swinging.

The story you are referring to is the girl that stuck out Babe Ruth, not Mickey Mantle. The Girl that struck out Babe Ruth was Jackie Mitchell, a 17 year old pitcher who faced the New York Yankees on April 2, 1931 in an exhibition game. She struck out the Babe, and in the following at bat Lou Gehrig.
not even close

no Jackie Mitchell did not marry Babe Ruth she married Lou Gehrig.

Jackie Mitchell of the Chattanooga Lookouts struck out Ruth and Gehrig in an exhibition game in 1931.
I think Babe Ruth is kind of mean because he thought Jackie Mitchell could not play baseball and he said baseball is a man's game, not her game.
Not a Boy - A GirlI was a girl that struck out Babe Ruth, not a boy. Jackie Mitchell, "the girl who struck out Babe Ruth. The 17-year old Jackie signed a contract to be a pitcher for the Chattanooga Lookouts men's baseball team. The Lookouts are a minor league class AA farm team in the New York Yankees organization. On April 2, 1931 the New York Yankees stopped in Chattanooga for an exhibition game on their way home from spring training. Jackie came into the game in the middle of the first inning and proceeded to strike out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig back to back! The story immediately made national headlines. A few days later, Baseball Commissioner Landis voided Mitchell's contract, claiming that baseball was "too strenuous" for a woman.
