Nats make amends as Miss Iowa tosses first pitch
WASHINGTON — Turns out Miss Iowa really can pitch.
Pageant winner Katherine Connors threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals. Her catcher: Washington reliever Miguel Batista, who recently made a comment about Miss Iowa as part of a self-effacing joke.
Wearing a red Nationals jersey and a Miss Iowa sash, the right-handed Connors heaved a pitch high and outside to Batista. She then posed for pictures with him.
