UConn duo tosses opening pitches at Monday game
Donovan Clingan and Victor Rosa took the the baseball diamond at Muzzy Field on Monday to throw the first pitches at the Bristol Blues game.
“We’re so excited to have Donovan and Victor here,” said Bristol Blues director of community outreach Sarah Lucian. “Tonight’s theme is ‘Be Your Favorite Athlete Night,’ and they’re definitely two of Bristol’s favorite athletes.”
Young fans lined up by the grandstands to meet the 2022 Bristol Central graduates, both of whom had outstanding freshmen seasons at UConn. In addition to throwing out the first pitches, both athletes competed in the “dizzy bat race” between the third and fourth inning delighting fans.
