Paula to Throw Out First Pitch at Phillies’ Game

Paula Creamer will throw out the first pitch before the Philadelphia Phillies’ game on July 6 game at Citizens Bank Park to help promote U.S. Women’s Open week. The 64th U.S. Women’s Open Championship begins July 9 at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Creamer, the fourth-ranked player in the world, announced the promotion on the Adopt-a-Player blog at the tournament’s official website. She also invited the third- and fourth-grade classes which have adopted her to sit with her at the game.

“I better start practicing, because I do not want to throw a grounder,” Creamer wrote.

Creamer is one of 25 players participating in the Adopt-a-Player program.
