Miss Iowa Throws Out First Pitch in Washington After Miguel Batista Flap

Filed under: Nationals, MLB Fans, MLB Media Watch, Sports Business and MediaWASHINGTON -- Wearing a red No. 10 Nationals jersey and her Miss Iowa USA sash, beauty queen Katherine Connors arrived at Nationals Park and threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday night's Phillies-Nationals game to bring her faux feud with Washington pitcher Miguel Batista full circle.

Connors, throwing from in front of the mound, tossed her pitch high and outside to Batista.

Batista set off an amusing back-and-forth between him and Connors on Tuesday when he compared himself to Miss Iowa and Stephen Strasburg to Miss Universe after starting in place of the injured phenom.

"I know I can throw a pitch or two, the question is, can Miguel Batista walk the runway in a swimsuit?" Connors fired back after Batista's comment made national headlines. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Commentsski equipment pellet gun aquabot
