Brown University’s Olivia Pichardo, who became the first female to play in a Division I collegiate baseball game, was seen throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park in Boston on Wednesday night.
Pichardo got an at-bat against Bryant University while Brown was down 10-1 in the bottom of the ninth. By stepping into the left-handed batter’s box, Pichardo made NCAA history.
The Red Sox wanted to shed more light on that feat when they invited her to throw out the first pitch for their game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
