Isaiah Thomas, Husky Crew Throwing Out First Pitches

By Athletic Communications on June 18, 2009 4:40 PM | No Comments

This Saturday will be very unique as the Huskies will be represented at both Cheney Stadium in Tacoma and at SAFECO Field in Seattle.

Tacoma-native Isaiah Thomas will throw out the first pitch before the Tacoma Rainiers' game at 7 pm as the Rainiers celebrate "Paint-the-Park-Purple". The team will be wearing purple uniforms to honor all-things Husky. Tickets for the game are $15, with $5 from each ticket directly benefitting scholarships for UW Tacoma students.

At the same time, north on I-5, the national championship men's crew team will be represented by the Varsity 8 boat at SAFECO. The team will be introduced and throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Mariners-Diamondbacks game at 7:10 pm.

Either way, go enjoy a professional baseball game and support the Huskies!!
