National-champion women's basketball team member Heather Johnson threw the first pitch before nearly 25,000 spectators at the Metrodome Twins game May 12.

Johnson, surrounded by teammates and coaches, fired a strike to Michael Cuddyer.
“I think he was surprised how hard she threw it and how accurate she was,” Coach Pam Gohl said.
