CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH
What a special moment yesterday at the MSP HBCU All-Star experience! ⚾️🥎
Dr. Valerie Kinloch, President of Johnson C. Smith University, stepped to the mound for the ceremonial first pitch but first she got a little coaching from MSP Softball’s own Tiffany Johnson! 👏🏾
Tiffany, a former Georgia Tech pitcher and one of our MSP HBCU All-Star coaches, made sure Dr. Kinloch was game ready before the big throw!
Moments like this remind us what this weekend is all about leadership, mentorship, sports, and community coming together. ❤️💙
